Hypokinesia and Reduced Dopamine Levels in Zebrafish Lacking β- and γ1-Synucleins
1 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease. However, the normal functions of synucleins and how these relate to disease pathogenesis are uncertain. We characterized endogenous zebrafish synucleins in order to develop tractable models to elucidate the physiological roles of synucleins in neurons in vivo. Three zebrafish genes, sncb, sncg1, and sncg2 (encoding β-, γ1-, and...
