Abstract excerpt
The build-up of misfolded α-synuclein (Syn) proteins plays a key role in diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Here, we compared the cytotoxicity and intracellular processing of wild-type and E46K mutant Syn aggregates in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and investigated the modulatory effects of the dopamine metabolite, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC). E46K aggregates displayed markedly higher toxicity than...
