Knocking out alpha-synuclein in melanoma cells dysregulates cellular iron metabolism and suppresses tumor growth

Abstract The protein alpha-synuclein (α-syn) is unusual because, depending on its conformation and the type of cell in which it is expressed, it is pro-death or pro-survival, triggering neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease and enhancing cell survival of some melanomas.
