'''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>. | '''Alpha-Synuclein''' (Syn) is a human neuronal protein which has several roles in synaptic activity.
