The human α-synuclein gene (SNCA) was previously identified as the non-Aβ component of Alzheimer’s disease amyloid precursor (NACP). A cosmid clone containing this gene has been isolated and mapped by FISH and high-resolution fluorescence banding to human chromosome 4q21.3→q22.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
