| Anti-aggregation Activity | Binds to alpha-synuclein and prevents its fibrillization into toxic oligomers and Lewy bodies<sup>[1]</sup> |
| Chaperone Function | Has molecular chaperone activity, protecting neurons from various stress conditions |
| Synaptic Function | Localizes to presynaptic terminals but does not aggregate under normal conditions |
| Lipid Binding | Binds to membranes but with lower affinity than alpha-synuclein |
| Association | Beta-synuclein pathology in MSA glial cytoplasmic inclusions<sup>[4]</sup> |
| Associated Diseases | neurodegeneration |
