The synuclein family members, including alpha-synuclein (also designated NACP for non-beta amyloid component) and beta-synuclein, are predominantly expressed in the brain and are speculated to be involved in synaptic regulation and neuronal plasticity. alpha-synuclein is localized to neuronal cell bodies and synapses. alpha-synuclein was first identified as a component of Alzheimers disease amyloid plaques. Abnormal platelet function in Alzheimers disease has been demonstrated. During megakaryocytic differentiation alpha-synuclein was found to be up-regulated, while beta-synuclein is down-regulated, indicating that coordinate expression of synucleins may be important during hematopoetic cell differentiation. A mutant form of alpha-synuclein has been found in patients with early onset Parkinsons disease.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
Form:
