Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
alpha-Synuclein (Syn204) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of total synuclein protein. This antibody detects recombinant α but not β-synuclein (Giasson, B.I. et al., 2000).
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant human α-synuclein protein.
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).
