BD, 558246, Purified Mouse anti-α-Synuclein (pY125) I57-628

The 140-amino-acid α-Synuclein protein is identical to the non-amyloid-β component precursor (NACP), a presynaptic protein involved in amyloidogenesis in Alzheimer's disease (AD). This protein is expressed in brain, primarily in presynaptic nerve terminals. Although the exact function of the Synucleins has not been determined, they have been linked to the prominent neurodegenerative disorders AD and Parkinson's disease. The Tyrosine 125 (Y125) residue of α-Synuclein plays an important role in stress-induced dimerization of the protein and is phosphorylated by Pyk/RAFTK via the Src-family kinases Fyn and c-Src. The I57-628 antibody recognizes α-Synuclein phosphorylated at Y125.

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
