Synucleins are small highly conserved proteins in vertebrates, especially abundant in neurons and typically enriched at presynaptic terminals. Three genes in humans produce closely related synuclein proteins, all of which share a large amphipathic domain capable of reversible binding to lipid vesicl
The presenilins (PS-1 and PS-2) are 2 members of a novel family of genes encoding integral membrane proteins recently implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. To date, 43 mutations have been identified in PS-1 and 2 in PS-2 that lead to familial presenile AD (onset before age 65 years). The
Shropshire highlighted a lack of action following the detection of abnormal lithium levels (Myers and Hallworth, 1996). There have also been a number of reports regarding ways in which monitoring could be improved. Dedicated lithium clinics have been shown to provide a better standard of monitoring
