1 Oxidized glutathione stimulated the amyloid formation of alpha-synuclein. Glutathione synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
2 The amyloid formation of alpha-synuclein was significantly facilitated by oxidized glutathione (GSSG) as the lag period of the aggregation kinetics was shortened by 2.5-fold from its absence. Glutathione synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
3 The preferred GSSG interaction of alpha-synuclein to GSH was also demonstrated with dissociation constants of 0.53 and 43.5 mM, respectively. Glutathione synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
4 It is suggested that the oxidative stress favoring the GSSG generation from GSH could result in the augmented amyloid formation of alpha-synuclein, which ought to be related to the pathogenesis of PD. Glutathione synuclein alpha Homo sapiens
