α-Synuclein: A Multifunctional Player in Exocytosis, Endocytosis, and Vesicle Recycling
α-synuclein (α-Syn) is a presynaptic enriched protein involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. However, the physiological roles of α-Syn remain poorly understood. Recent studies have indicated a critical role of α-Syn in the sensing and generation of membrane curvature during vesicular e...
