A novel resource for studying function and dysfunction of α-synuclein: mouse lines for modulation of endogenous Snca gene expression

Abstract excerpt

Pathological modification of α-synuclein is believed to be an important event in pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and several other neurodegenerative diseases. In normal cells this protein has been linked to many intracellular processes and pathways. However, neither normal function of α-synuclein in neuronal and certain other types of cells nor its exact role in the disease pathogenesis is well understood,...
