Abstract excerpt
The 15-20 kDa synuclein (SYN) phosphoproteins are abundantly expressed in nervous tissue. Members of the family include alpha- and beta-SYN, and the more distantly related gamma-SYN and synoretin. SYN genes have been identified in Torpedo, canary, and several mammalian species, indicating an evolutionary conserved role. Expression of alpha-SYN was found to be modulated in situations of neuronal remodeling,...
