Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation
Specificity / Sensitivity
alpha-Synuclein Antibody detects the alpha isoform of synuclein. This antibody may cross-react with β-synuclein.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the carboxy-terminal sequence of human α-synuclein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
α-Synuclein is a protein of 140-amino acids expressed abundantly in the brain. α-Synuclein is also the main component of pathogenic Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. Research studies have shown that mutations of the α-Synuclein gene are linked to Parkinson's disease (1).
