Expression of α-synuclein is regulated in a neuronal cell type-dependent manner
25 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
α-Synuclein, the major component of Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites (LNs), is expressed in presynapses under physiologically normal conditions and is involved in synaptic function. Abnormal intracellular aggregates of misfolded α-synuclein such as LBs and LNs are pathological hallmarks of synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). According to previous studies...
