Gene Information

human ... SNCA(6622)

General description

The SNCA (synuclein α) gene codes for a 140-amino acid protein α-synuclein, that is mapped to human chromosome 4q21-23.
The SNCA (synuclein α) gene is mapped to human chromosome 4q22.1. The gene encodes a small synaptic protein called α-synuclein.

Immunogen

recombinant human α synuclein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Accumulation of α-synuclein in oligodendrocytes results in the loss of myelin and causes neurodegeneration, leading to multiple system atrophy. Synuclein-α is known to induce oligodendrocyte maturation. The encoded protein is considered to be an important aggregate of Lewy bodies, contributing to the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease.

The role of Lewy bodies, Lewy neurites and α-synuclein (αSYN) in the pathophysiology and diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is unclear. We used postmortem human tissue, a panel of antibodies (Abs) and confocal microscopy to examine the three-dimensional neurochemical anatomy

Malfunctioning of the protein α-synuclein is critically involved in the demise of dopaminergic neurons relevant to Parkinson's disease. Nonetheless, the precise mechanisms explaining this pathogenic neuronal cell death remain elusive. Endonuclease G (EndoG) is a mitochondrially localized nuclease that triggers
α-synuclein in blood and brain from familial Parkinson disease with SNCA locus triplication.
