Deficiency of ATP13A2 leads to lysosomal dysfunction, α -
synuclein accumulation, and neurotoxicity.
Not exact matches
though the exact cause of Parkinson's is unknown, evidence points to an
accumulation of alpha -
synuclein, which has been found to be common to all people with the disorder.
The disease is caused by the
accumulation of abnormally shaped α -
synuclein proteins in neurons, leading to particularly toxic effects in dopamine - releasing cells located in brain regions that control movement.
The pathological hallmark of this disease is the
accumulation of alpha -
synuclein, which in turn leads to cell death and consequently to problems in neurotransmission.
Until now, scientists haven't thought this build - up was important to the disease process because it looked different from the types of protein
accumulations — such as tau, amyloid and alpha
synuclein — that are clearly toxic and always found in patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and some forms of dementia.
The diseased cells contain structures called Lewy bodies,
accumulations of a protein called α -
synuclein that are a hallmark of Parkinson's.
Lewy bodies (
accumulation of abnormal alpha -
synuclein A protein in the human brain that is associated with the development of Parkinson's.
16: Games D, Seubert P, Rockenstein E, Patrick C, Trejo M, Ubhi K, Ettle B, Ghassemiam M, Barbour R, Schenk D, Nuber S, Masliah E. Axonopathy in an α -
synuclein transgenic model of Lewy body disease is associated with extensive
accumulation of C - terminal - truncated α -
synuclein.
Whereas PD motor symptoms are driven by loss of dopamine - producing neurons, many of the nonmotor symptoms are instead linked to the
accumulation of Lewy bodies and other malformed clumps and fibrils of the protein alpha -
synuclein (AS) inside and between neurons.
PD is characterized by the progressive degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons, and the
accumulation of neuronal inclusions of aggregated α -
synuclein [2].
Past research has shown that Parkinson's patients with LRRK2 mutations often show an abnormal
accumulation of alpha -
synuclein as well.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopamine - producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and an
accumulation of α -
synuclein (α - syn) protein.
BHB inhibited the
accumulation of the protein alpha -
synuclein in NL5901 nematodes.
