Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest that phosphorylation of α-synuclein (α-syn) at S87 or S129 may play an important role in regulating its aggregation, fibrillogenesis, Lewy body formation, and neurotoxicity in vivo. However, whether phosphorylation at these residues enhances or protects against α-syn toxicity in vivo remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the cellular and behavioral effect of...
