Abstract excerpt
Mutations in alpha-synuclein (A30P and A53T) are involved in some cases of familial Parkinson's disease (FPD), but it is not known how they result in nigral cell death. We examined the effect of alpha-synuclein overexpression on the response of cells to various insults. Wild-type alpha-synuclein and alpha-synuclein mutations associated with FPD were overexpressed in NT-2/D1 and SK-N-MC cells. Overexpression of...
