Abstract excerpt
Linkage of alpha-synuclein (alpha-SN) mutations to familial Parkinson's disease (PD) and presence of alpha-SN as a major constituent of Lewy body in both sporadic and familial PD implicate alpha-SN abnormality in PD pathogenesis. Here we demonstrate that overexpression of wild-type or mutant alpha-SN does not cause any deleterious effect on the growth or continued propagation of transfected human cells, but...
