Target: Alpha Synuclein.

Nature: Recombinant.

Swiss-Prot: P37840.

Biological Activity: Does not induce Lewy body inclusion formation in Sprague-Dawley rat primary hippocampal neurons. Thioflavin T emission curve shows only a small increase in fluorescence (indicative of alpha synuclein aggregation) when Type 2 alpha synuclein PFFs (SPR-317) are combined with alpha synuclein monomers (SPR-321 or SPR-316). Certain biological activities in other neuronal cells cannot be ruled out. Researchers should test compatibility prior to use.

Expression System: E. coli.

Protein Length: Full Length.

Amino Acid Sequence: MDVFMKGLSK AKEGVVAAAE KTKQGVAEAA GKTKEGVLYV GSKTKEGVVH GVATVAEKTK EQVTNVGGAV VTGVTAVAQK TVEGAGSIAA ATGFVKKDQL GKNEEGAPQE GILEDMPVDP DNEAYEMPSE EGYQDYEPEA.

Purification: Ion-exchange Purified.

Purity: >95%.

Storage Buffer: PBS pH 7.4.

Protein Size: ~14.46 kDa.

Conjugate: No tag.

Cellular Localization: Cytoplasm, Membrane, Nucleus.

Scientific Background: Alpha-Synuclein (SNCA) is expressed predominantly in the brain, where it is concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals (1). Alpha-synuclein is highly expressed in the mitochondria of the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, striatum and thalamus (2). Functionally, it has been shown to significantly interact with tubulin (3), and may serve as a potential microtubule-associated protein. It has also been found to be essential for normal development of the cognitive functions; inactivation may lead to impaired spatial learning and working memory (4). SNCA fibrillar aggregates represent the major non A-beta component of Alzheimers disease amyloid plaque, and a major component of Lewy body inclusions, and Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive accumulation in selected neurons of protein inclusions containing alpha-synuclein and ubiquitin (5, 6).
