Introduction
α-Synuclein (amino acids 1-140) is an acidic neuronal protein of 140 amino acids that exhibits high heat resistance. It exists in a natively unfolded state, primarily characterized by an extended structure with random coils. Studies have implicated α-synuclein in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and other related neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, recent research suggests its crucial role as a regulatory component in neuronal vesicular transport. Furthermore, evidence indicates that α-synuclein possesses chaperone activity, which is compromised upon removal of its C-terminal acidic tail (amino acids 96-140).
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation
1 mg/ml in PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.1% Sodium Azide.
Storage Procedures
For storage up to 1 month, maintain at 4°C. For longer-term storage, store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Stability / Shelf Life
Stable for 12 months at -20°C and 1 month at 4°C.
Applications
The α-Synuclein antibody has undergone testing through ELISA and Western blot analysis to ensure its specificity and reactivity. However, due to variations in applications, it is recommended to titrate the reagent for optimal results in each specific investigation. For Western blot analysis, a dilution range of 1:500 to 1:2,000 is advised. This α-Synuclein antibody specifically targets the NAC domain (amino acids 61-95) of α-synuclein, with a recommended starting dilution of 1:1,000.
