found: Trends in neurosciences, June, 1998:p. 249 (A novel protein family is emerging as a central player in a host of fundamental neural processes. Members of this family have gone by a number of names, but all can now be seen to represent the products of three genes, expressed predominantly in nervous tissue and strikingly conserved among vertebrates. Here we shall categorize them as [alpha], [beta] and [gamma] synuclein)
