Target Information

Alpha-synuclein is a member of the synuclein family, which also includes beta- and gamma-synuclein. These proteins are abundant in the brain and play a role in regulating synaptic transmission and membrane trafficking.
Alpha- and beta-synuclein have been shown to selectively inhibit phospholipase D2, suggesting involvement in signaling pathways.
Defects in the SNCA gene, encoding alpha-synuclein, are implicated in Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis. Alpha-synuclein peptides are a major component of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. Multiple alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.
Diseases associated with SNCA include Parkinson Disease 1, Autosomal Dominant and Dementia, Lewy Body.
