PSMA5 PROTEIN is a gene/protein encoding a key neuronal protein involved in synaptic function, signal transduction, and cellular homeostasis. Dysfunction of PSMA5 PROTEIN is associated with neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and related disorders.
PSMA5 (25.6 kDa) is the smallest α-subunit of the 20S proteasome. It is a component of the outer α-ring and plays a structural role in proteasome assembly and function. The proteasome consists of four heptameric rings forming a barrel-shaped structure.
