Lack of synucleins induces an alteration of lipid peroxidation in the brain.
Family proteins - α-, β, γ-synucleins shown to play important roles in metabolism, signal transduction and dopamine handling. Aggregated α-synuclein is neurotoxic and involved in pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. The mechanism toxicity of aggregated α-synuclein includes lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress and ferro...
