alpha-Synuclein expression levels do not significantly affect proteasome function and expression in mice and stably transfected PC12 cell lines.

Abstract excerpt

alpha-Synuclein (alpha-syn) is a small protein of unknown function that is found aggregated in Lewy bodies, the histopathological hallmark of sporadic Parkinson disease and other synucleinopathies. Mutations in the alpha-syn gene and a triplication of its gene locus have been identified in early onset familial Parkinson disease. alpha-Syn turnover can be mediated by the proteasome pathway. A survey of published...
