Background:

α-synuclein is a protein of unknown function. It is mainly found in neural tissue. There is a lipid-binding motif similar to that of Apolipoproteins on its N-terminal. A hydrophobic region that is the non-beta component found in amyloid aggregation in Alzheimer’s disease is located at the central region of the protein. The abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein on brain tissue is called Lewy bodies, which are found in Parkinson’s disease, dementia and multiply system atrophy. Mutated α-synuclein gene is found to be associated with rare familial form of Parkinson’s disease.

Application:

ELISA: The antibody reacts with recombinant α-synuclein.

Western Blot:Detect recombinant α- synuclein (α-SYN) using antibody 4C1 at 5μg/mL dilution.
