Abstract excerpt
Insoluble alpha-synuclein accumulates in Parkinson's disease, diffuse Lewy body disease, and multiple system atrophy. However, the relationship between its accumulation and pathogenesis is still unclear. Recently, we reported that overexpression of alpha-synuclein affects Elk-1 phosphorylation in cultured cells, which is mainly performed by mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). We further examined the...
