The Effect of Truncated Human α-Synuclein (1–120) on Dopaminergic Cells in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease
1 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Alpha-Synuclein is thought to play an important role in the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Truncated forms of this protein can be found in PD brain extracts, and these species aggregate faster and are more susceptible to oxidative stress than the full-length protein. We investigated the effect of truncated alpha-synuclein on dopaminergic cells using a transgenic mouse expressing alpha-synuclein (1-120)...
