Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Although the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying PD is largely unknowm, it is widely believed that multiple genetic as well as environmental factors play critical roles in the development of PD. Alpha synuclein (a-SYN) and the disturbance of a-SYN metabolism seems to play the most important role in PD pathogenesis....
