Abstract

The α-synuclein protein exists in different structural forms primarily as monomers, dimers, and tetramers in different human tissues. In the brain and blood, α-synuclein tetramer to monomer ratios are observed to be altered in sporadic and familial Parkinson’s disease (sPD), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). (Figure presented.)
