Background | 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 SREs (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein REceptors) at the presynaptic plasma membrane in conjunction with cysteine string protein-alpha/DJC5. 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. |

Theoretical Molecular Weight | 40.9 kDa |
Formulation | Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant. |
Reconstitution | Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions. For best performance, we strongly recommend you to follow the reconstitution protocol provided in the CoA. |
Molecular Characterization | This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. The protein migrates as 47-52 kDa and 53-56 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation. |
Endotoxin | Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Purity | > 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. > 90% as determined by SEC-MALS. |
Storage | For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower. Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This product is stable after storage at: -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
