A Role of Cholesterol in Modulating the Binding of α-Synuclein to Synaptic-Like Vesicles

A Role of Cholesterol in Modulating the Binding of α-Synuclein to Synaptic-Like Vesicles

α-Synuclein (αS) is a presynaptic protein whose aggregation is associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although the physiological function of αS is still unclear, several lines of evidence indicate that this protein may play a role in the trafficking of synaptic vesicles (SVs) during neurotransmit...
