Gene

Snca

Species
Mus musculus
Symbol
Snca
Name
synuclein, alpha
Synonyms
  • alpha-Syn
  • alpha-synuclein
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables arachidonate binding activity; histone binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; protein-containing complex assembly; and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and regulation of amine transport. Located in several cellular components, including axon terminus; inclusion body; and neuronal cell body. Is active in synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; genitourinary system; sensory ganglion; and sensory organ. Used to study Parkinson's disease 1 and Parkinson's disease 4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Lewy body dementia; Parkinson's disease; Parkinson's disease 1; and Parkinson's disease 4. Orthologous to human SNCA (synuclein alpha).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display resistance to the effects of MPTP on dopamine levels. Mice expressing a knock-in allele exhibit impaired coordination, long stride length, abnormal response to reserpine and reduced brain dopamine levels. [provided by MGI curators]
