The protein Alpha-Synuclein is found in the healthy part of the brain. Scientists also say that Alpha-Synuclein plays a big role with getting Parkinson’s disease. Alpha -Synuclein has a symbol of SNCA gene, which provides instructions to make the small protein. The SNCA gene belongs to a family of genes called PARK (Parkinson disease) (Does the SNCA gene share characteristics with other genes ?). A gene is a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring. The Parkinson disease is caused by mutations in the SNCA gene.
Alpha-Synuclein is abundant in the brain, and smaller amounts are found in the heart, muscles, and other tissues (What is the normal function
