Secondary Information

Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells Abundant in axon terminals of presynaptic neurons.
Protein Function highly enriched in presynaptic nerve terminals.synaptic vesicle trafficking and subsequent neurotransmitter release.
Biochemical Properties The central half of the alpha-synuclein polypeptide, containing five tandem repeats as well as a part of the carboxyl-terminal acidic region, forms the core structure of alpha-synuclein filaments, which is coated by the amino- and carboxyl-terminal portions at the periphery.
