Figure 4. α-Synuclein is expressed in PYY cells of mouse colon.

Figure 4

Top row: Frozen sections (10-μm thickness) of PYY-GFP mouse colon were fixed with formalin and stained for GFP (green) and α-synuclein (red). α-Synuclein is present in the cytoplasm of PYY-GFP cells and extends into the neuropod of one of the cells (arrow). Bottom row: Paraffin-embedded section (5-μm thickness) of A53T mouse intestine showing a PYY cell (green) in close proximity to a α-synuclein–stained (red) nerve in the lamina propria. Scale bar: 10 μm. PYY, peptide YY.
