Abstract
Abnormal α-synuclein binding to rab3a was also found in the substantia nigra but not in the cerebral cortex in Parkinson's disease. These findings suggest membrane and synaptic vesicle trafficking as vulnerable targets in MSA. Since rab3a is a member of the Ras super-family of small (21-25 kDa) GTP-binding proteins which is involved in the regulation of the internal trafficking, exocytosis and neurotransmission, and vesicle endocytosis, the present findings might suggest membrane and synaptic vesicle trafficking as vulnerable targets in MSA.
