Gamma synuclein sometimes referred to as SNCG or gamma-synuclein is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 13 kDa. It is a member of the synuclein family which also includes alpha and beta synucleins. This protein is highly expressed in the nervous system particularly in the peripheral nervous system and certain regions of the central nervous system. Outside the nervous system gamma synuclein can be found in the retina reproductive tissues and breast tissue among others.
Biological function summary
Gamma synuclein plays a role in modulating neuronal plasticity and may participate in synaptic regulation. It is not known to be a part of a larger protein complex but it interacts with various other proteins influencing neuron differentiation. Although its precise biological functions are not fully characterized studies suggest that gamma synuclein could impact cellular processes like cytoskeletal dynamics and membrane trafficking.
Pathways
The protein gamma synuclein is involved in cellular stress response and neurodegeneration pathways. It is closely related to proteins like alpha synuclein with which it shares structural and functional features. Pathways involving these proteins can influence several processes such as axonal transport and neurotransmitter release. Dysregulation in these pathways often leads to disruptions in cellular homeostasis.
The involvement of gamma synuclein is most notably seen in breast cancer and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Researchers have observed that this protein is overexpressed in various tumors where it might facilitate cancer progression and metastasis. In neurodegeneration interaction with alpha synuclein and tau protein could play a role in the pathogenesis where protein aggregation is a characteristic feature. Understanding its role in these diseases helps in charting possible therapeutic avenues.
