Alpha-synuclein was implicated in Parkinson's disease when missense mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene were found in autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease and alpha-synuclein was shown to be a major constituent of protein aggregates in sporadic Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies. We have generated transgenic mice expressing A53T mutant and wild-type human alpha-synuclein. The mutant transgenic...
