Abstract excerpt
Both the misfolding of α-synuclein and mitochondrial dysfunction are considered two major contributors to Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the relationship between the two in normal and PD states remains unclear. Here, we report that voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), a major component of the outer mitochondrial membrane known to regulate mitochondrial functions, is down-regulated in response to...
