Background: Ethanol intake leads to cognitive deficits. Recent research demonstrated that a dysregulation of synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) expression seems to be linked to anxiety and memory disorders.

Synaptic loss and its association with symptom severity in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the fastest growing neurodegenerative disease, but at present there is no cure, nor any disease-modifying treatments. Synaptic biomarkers from in vivo imaging have shown promise in imaging loss of synapses in PD and other ...

Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) is ubiquitously present in presynaptic terminals. Here we report kinetic modeling and test–retest reproducibility assessment of the SV2A positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand [11C]UCB-J in humans.

BackgroundThe synaptic hypothesis is an influential theory of the pathoetiology of schizophrenia (SCZ), which is supported by the finding that there is lower uptake of the synaptic terminal density marker [11C]UCB-J in patients with chronic SCZ than in control participants.

Background Effective, disease-modifying therapeutics for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remain a large unmet need. Extensive evidence suggests that amyloid beta (Aβ) is central to AD pathophysiology, and Aβ oligomers are among the most toxic ...

An In Vivo High-Resolution Human Brain Atlas of Synaptic Density
Synapses are fundamental to the function of the central nervous system and are implicated in a number of brain disorders. Despite their pivotal role, a comprehensive imaging resource detailing the distribution of synapses in the human brain has been ...

Background The pathological effects of amyloid β oligomers (Aβo) may be mediated through the metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5), leading to synaptic loss in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) is a prototype synaptic vesicle protein regulating action potential-dependent neurotransmitters release. SV2A also serves as a specific binding site for certain antiepileptics and is implicated in the treatment of epilepsy.

The Synaptic Vesicle Glycoprotein 2: Structure, Function, and Disease Relevance.
The synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 (SV2) family is comprised of three paralogues: SV2A, SV2B, and SV2C. In vertebrates, SV2s are 12-transmembrane proteins present on every secretory vesicle, including synaptic vesicles, and are critical to ...
