Description
Human Alpha-Synuclein Protein, Fc Tag (MALS verified) | ALN-H5253-1mg| Gentaur Distribution US, UK & Europe
Alpha-synuclein is a neuronal protein that plays several roles in synaptic activity such as regulation of synaptic vesicle trafficking and subsequent neurotransmitter release. It acts also as a molecular chaperone in its multimeric membrane-bound state, assisting in the folding of synaptic fusion components called SNAREs (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein REceptors) at presynaptic plasma membrane in conjunction with cysteine string protein-alpha/DNAJC5. Abnormalities in alpha-synuclein are implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Alpha-synuclein is present in Lewy-bodies, the neuropathological hallmark of PD, and the protein and its aggregation have been widely linked to neurotoxic pathways that ultimately lead to neurodegeneration.
Source: Human Alpha-Synuclein, Fc Tag (ALN-H5253) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Met 1 - Ala 140 (Accession # P37840-1).
