Synphilin-1 (alpha synuclein interacting protein,SNCAIP) is a 919-amino acid protein that associates with alpha synuclein and promotes the formation of cytosolic inclusions in neuronal cells (1,2). The synuclein family members, including alpha-synuclein and beta-synuclein, are predominantly expressed in the brain where they influence synaptic regulation and neuronal plasticity (3,4).Synphilin-1 contains modular protein domains, such as ankyrin-like repeats and a coiled-coil domain (5). While both alpha-synuclein and synphilin-1 are co-expressed in Lewy bodies of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), only mutations in the gene for alpha-synuclein have been determined to confer pathogenicity (6,7).
