'''Alpha-Synuclein''' (Syn) is a human neuronal protein which has several roles in synaptic activity. Syn enhances vesicle priming, fusion and dilation of exocytotic pores<ref>PMID:28288128/ref>.  Syn acts as a molecular chaperone in assisting the folding of SNAREs - the synaptic fusion components<ref>PMID:20798282</ref>. Syn associates with the dopamine transporter and modulates its activity<ref>PMID:26442590</ref>.

The Syn structure shows 8 β-sheet forming segments interrupted by Gly residues. Seven PD-associated familial mutations are known. The 3D structure shows a hydrophobic cleft which can provide an entry point for an incoming Syn molecule elongating the fibril<ref>PMID:29969391</ref>.
