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. 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.

The detection to α-synuclein (αS) assemblies as a biomarker of synucleinopathies is an important challenge for further development of an early diagnosis tool. Here, we present proof of concept real-time fast amyloid seeding and translocation (RT-FAST) based on a nanopipette

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, defined by the presence of resting tremor, muscular rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. PD is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons within the substantia nigra pars compacta of

Aggregation of human α-synuclein (αSyn) is linked to Parkinson's disease (PD) pathology. The central region of the αSyn sequence contains the non-amyloid β-component (NAC) crucial for aggregation. However, how NAC flanking regions modulate αSyn aggregation remains unclear. Using bioinformatics, mutation

α-Synuclein (α-Syn), a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD), has been recognized to induce the production of interleukin-1β in a process that depends, at least in vitro, on nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in monocytes. However, the role of
