These aggregates form by accumulation of alpha-synuclein a protein that exists mostly in neural tissues. Also known as SNCA this protein has a mass of approximately 14 kDa. Researchers frequently find alpha-synuclein in presynaptic terminals of neurons but expression also occurs in the nucleus and cytoplasm of neuronal cells. This protein has a notable interaction with lipid membranes indicating its role in synaptic vesicle regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAlpha-synuclein manages several cellular processes most notably in neurotransmitter release and vesicle recycling. It does not work alone; it often forms complexes with other proteins like synaptobrevin-2 of the SNARE complex. The formation of these complexes allows for the proper functioning of synaptic vesicles. Alteration in alpha-synuclein's normal function through aggregation disrupts these processes which underlies many neural complications.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMany neuronal functions depend on alpha-synuclein's participation in synaptic vesicle pathways. Key pathways include the dopamine metabolic pathway where alpha-synuclein regulates dopamine release. The protein interacts with other synaptic proteins like the SNARE proteins potentially affecting protein kinase pathways. Abnormal aggregation impacts these pathways which can propagate cellular stress and contribute to cellular degeneration.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlpha-synuclein aggregation correlates strongly with Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia. In these conditions aggregates form Lewy bodies protein clusters within neurons that impair their function and encourage neural degradation. The protein interacts with structural proteins like ubiquitin. Ubiquitin involvement highlights the importance of degradation pathways in these disorders as impaired proteostasis due to aggregated alpha-synuclein exacerbates disease progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46860588482729,"sku":"ab216124","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab216124","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
