Interactions between metals and alpha-synuclein--function or artefact?

The FEBS journal - 1 Aug 2007

Brown David R

Abstract excerpt

alpha-synuclein is one of a family of proteins whose function remains unknown. This protein has become linked to a number of neurodegenerative disease although its potential causative role in these diseases remains mysterious. In diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementias, alpha-synuclein becomes deposited in aggregates termed Lewy bodies. Also, some inherited forms of Parkinson's diseases are...
