Striatal dopamine transporter function is facilitated by converging biology of α-synuclein and cholesterol

Abstract:

Striatal dopamine transporters (DAT) powerfully regulate dopamine signalling, and can contribute risk to degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD). DATs can interact with the neuronal protein α-synuclein, which is associated with the aetiology and molecular pathology of idiopathic and familial PD. Here, we tested whether DAT function in governing dopamine (DA) uptake and release is modified in a human α-synuclein-overexpressing (SNCA-OVX) transgenic mouse model of early PD. Using fast-scan cyc...
