be crucial for its localization and function at the synapse. Previous work has shown that
defects in long distance transport within narrow caliber axons occur early in PD, but how
such defects contribute to PD is unknown. Here we test the hypothesis that the NAC region
is involved in facilitating proper transport of α-syn within axons via its association with
membranes. Excess α-syn or fPD mutant α-synA53T accumulates within larval axons …
