Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein is a major constituent of Lewy bodies, the neuropathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Three types of alpha-synuclein mutations, A53T, A30P, and E46K, have been reported in familial PD. Wild-type alpha-synuclein accumulates at high concentrations in Lewy bodies, and this process is accelerated with mutated A53T alpha-synuclein. The accumulation of alpha-synuclein is thought to be...
