General description
Research area: Neuroscience
α-Synuclein, a member of the synuclein family of proteins that localize to presynaptic terminals under physiological conditions. It is comprised of three primary regions: an amino terminus containing apolipoprotein lipid-binding motifs, which are anticipated to form amphiphilic helices. The central region, known as non-Aβ component (NAC) containing a hydrophobic domain that gives β-sheet potential, and the carboxyl terminus, characterized by a high negative charge and remains unstructured. Under physiological conditions, members of the synuclein family, including α-synuclein, are predominantly neuronal proteins.

Application
Synuclein, α, recombinant human has been used:
- for preparation of α-synuclein fibrils to access the SAR228810 antibody against the risk of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA).
- to study the formation of isoasparate protein damage responsible to trigger familial Parkionsonian phenotypes.
- to study its interaction with iron and copper, in order to understand their role in proteinopathies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Synuclein, α is the principal component of Lewy bodies and a pathological hallmark of synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA). The deposition of αS aggregates is a defining characteristic of all these diseases.
Physical form
Lyophilized from TBS. Resuspend in water at a concentration of 1 mg/mL.
Storage and Stability
Maintain lyophilized material at -20ºC for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20ºC to -70ºC for up to 2 weeks in undiluted aliquots. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles to avoid aggregation.
