Alpha-Synuclein

Preferred Label : Alpha-Synuclein;

NCIt synonyms : Non-A4 Component of Amyloid Precursor; NACP; Non-A Beta Component of AD Amyloid; SNCA;

NCIt definition : Alpha-synuclein (140 aa, 14 kDa) is encoded by the human SNCA gene. This protein plays a role in the modulation of presynaptic vesicle transport and release.;

NCIt note : Peptides derived from alpha-synuclein are a major component of amyloid plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and non-amyloid aggregates in other synucleopathic neurodegenerative diseases.;
