Industry: Biotech

Press Release Summary:
Alpha Synuclein, 1-60
Alpha Synuclein, 1-95
Alpha Synuclein, 61-140
Alpha Synuclein, 96-140


Press Release Body: Alpha Synuclein, 1-60
MW: 6,149 Da
Lyophilized powder. Purity > 95% by SDS-PAGE; A deletion mutant of Alpha-Synuclein
(amino acids 1-60), which contains the N-terminal amphipathic domain.
Alpha-Synuclein is a 14 kD (140 amino acids) acidic presynaptic protein. It is a
major component of Parkinson's disease aggregates and is implicated in the
pathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.
Alpha-Synuclein accumulates in the brains of sporadic Parkinson's disease patients
as a major component of Lewy bodies, which are intraneuronal cytoplasmic inclusions
characteristic of Parkinson's disease. Alpha-Synuclein appears to associate with
other proteins that aggregate and is found in amyloid plaques and neuritic tangles
in Alzheimer's disease.
