Neuronal overexpression of Kcnn1 in A53T α-synuclein mice suppresses phospho-serine 129 α-synuclein formation and doubles survival time

Significance Parkinson’s Disease and several other neurodegenerative diseases are driven by misfolding and aggregation of the neuronal protein α-synuclein. We studied a transgenic mouse model expressing the Parkinson’s-associated A53T mutant human α-synuclein, that succumbs with dystonic limbs at ~8 mo, with presence o...
