Chaperone and anti‐chaperone: Two‐faced synuclein as stimulator of synaptic evolution

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

The intriguing possibility that the dual syn proteins might have acquired a driving force for synaptic evolution is referred to, whereby the anti‐chaperone syn may provoke stress‐induced diverse responses, whereas, the chaperones may provide buffering for them, allowing accumulation of nonlethal phenotypic variations in synapses.
