SNCB : synuclein beta
Description
The SNCB (synuclein beta) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.
The SNCB gene provides instructions for making a protein called beta-synuclein. While its exact function is unknown, it likely plays a role in synaptic plasticity, the ability of connections between nerve cells (synapses) to change and adapt over time. Synaptic plasticity is crucial for learning and memory. Beta-synuclein may also prevent harmful accumulation of alpha-synuclein in nerve cells (neurons).
SNCB is also known as -.
