Abstract excerpt
alpha-Synuclein is a primarily neuronal protein that is enriched at the pre-synapse. alpha-Synuclein and the microtubule binding protein tau have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. alpha-Synuclein is known to associate with phospholipid vesicles, regulates dopamine metabolism and exhibits chaperone activity, but its main role remains largely unknown. Furthermore, knowledge on its interactions and...
