About this item
The recombinant human α-synuclein (1-140) (GenBank Accession # NP_000336) was expressed and purified from E. coli and conjugated with biotin. Recombinant protein is produced without an affinity tag.
α-Synuclein is a major component of Lewy bodies in the affected neurons in Parkinson's disease. This protein has a mass of 14.5 kDa (140 amino acids long) and consists of a conserved degenerative amino-terminal domain and an acidic carboxyl-terminal with higher sequence divergence. α-Synuclein is predominantly expressed in brain, specifically in cerebellum, thalamus, neocortex, hippocampus, and striatum regions. Other tissues express α-Synuclein at very low levels. The physiological role of α-synuclein is not yet well understood. However, the presence of imperfect KTKEGV lipid interacting repeats suggests that it may be involved in synaptic vesicle homeostasis.
