General description
α-Synuclein is mapped to human chromosome 4q22.1. It is an intrinsically disordered protein with N-terminal imperfect repeats (KTKEGV), a central NAC crucial for aggregation and an acidic rich flexible C-terminal region.α-Synuclein is present in the Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites (LNs).
Application
α-Synuclein A53T human has been used to treat mesencephalic neuronal and stimulate microglial cells prior to reactive oxygen species (ROS) measurement, immunohistochemistry and imaging studies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
α-Synuclein (α-Syn) interacts with toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and mediates interleukin-1β (IL-1β) synthesis.
A point mutation in the α-synuclein gene, A53T (Ala53-Thr), is linked to familial Parkinson′s disease.
A point mutation in the α-synuclein gene, A53T (Ala53-Thr), is linked to familial Parkinson′s disease. Mice expressing A53T human α-synuclein, but not wild-type or the A30P variants, develop adult-onset neurodegenerative disease with a progressive motoric dysfunction leading to death.
