20617 O55042 SYUA_MOUSE Alpha-synuclein (Non-A beta component of AD amyloid) (Non-A4 component of amyloid precursor) (NACP) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Snca-deficient mice are viable and fertile, possess intact brain architecture but exhibit decreased striatal dopamin content and amphetamine sensitivity (PubMed:10707987). Simultaneous knockout of SNCA, SNCB and SNCG exhibit an age-dependent decrease in SNARE-complex assembly. Thus, synucleins are required for maintaining normal SNARE-complex assembly during aging in mice (PubMed:20798282). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10707987, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20798282}.
