Increased Extra‐Synaptic Localisation of the Presynaptic Protein, SV2A, in the Human Alzheimer's Disease Brain

We show that SV2a is not expressed at all synapses, with a substantial proportion found elsewhere in neurons and glia. Therefore, SV2a as a biomarker may not reveal the true extent of synapse loss in AD.

Abstract

We show that SV2a is not expressed at all synapses, with a substantial proportion found elsewhere in neurons and glia. Therefore, SV2a as a biomarker may not reveal the true extent of synapse loss in AD.
