Summary

SNCB (synuclein beta, HGNC:11140) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q35.2, encoding Beta-synuclein (Q16143). Non-amyloid component of senile plaques found in Alzheimer disease.

This gene encodes a member of a small family of proteins that inhibit phospholipase D2 and may function in neuronal plasticity. The encoded protein is abundant in lesions of patients with Alzheimer disease. A mutation in this gene was found in individuals with dementia with Lewy bodies. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Non-amyloid component of senile plaques found in Alzheimer disease. Could act as a regulator of SNCA aggregation process. Protects neurons from staurosporine and 6-hydroxy dopamine (6OHDA)-stimulated caspase activation in a p53/TP53-dependent manner. Contributes to restore the SNCA anti-apoptotic function abolished by 6OHDA. Not found in the Lewy bodies associated with Parkinson disease.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.

Tissue specificity. Expressed predominantly in brain; concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation by G-protein coupled receptor kinases (GRK) is more efficient than phosphorylation by CK1, CK2 and CaM-kinase II.

Similarity. Belongs to the synuclein family.
