{"symbol":"SNCAIP","synonyms":["SYPH1"],"name":"synuclein, alpha interacting protein","description":"This gene encodes a protein containing several protein-protein interaction domains, including ankyrin-like repeats, a coiled-coil domain, and an ATP/GTP-binding motif. The encoded protein interacts with alpha-synuclein in neuronal tissue and may play a role in the formation of cytoplasmic inclusions and neurodegeneration. A mutation in this gene has been associated with Parkinson\u0027s disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
