Anti-Phospho-Ser129 Alpha Synuclein
products short name : 
Alpha synuclein (ser129)
other names : 
alpha-synuclein; Alpha-synuclein; alpha-synuclein; synuclein, alpha (non A4 component of amyloid precursor)
products gene name : 
SNCA
other gene names : 
Snca; Snca
uniprot entry name : 
SYUA_RAT
specificity : 
Specific for the ~15 kDa alpha-synuclein protein phosphorylated at Ser129. Immunolabeling is blocked by the phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide.
purity : 
Affinity Purified (Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho- and dephosphopeptide affinity columns.)
form : 
100 ul in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 ug per ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Adequate amount of material to conduct 10-mini Western Blots.
storage stability : 
Store at -20 degree C; stable for at least one year.
tested application : 
Western Blot (WB)
app notes : 
Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot.  WB: 1:1000
other info1 : 
Antigen: Phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding the phospho-Ser129 of alpha synuclein.  Immunogen Information: Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser129 conjugated to KLH.  Immunogen Species: Rat
other info2 : 
Reactivity Assumed Based on 100% Sequence Homology: Bovine, canine, human, mouse, and non-human primate.  Species Reactivity Note: The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with bovine, canine, human, mouse, and non-human primate based on the fact that these species have 100% homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.  Biological Significance: Alpha-synuclein is a presynaptic neuronal protein that is thought to be involved in the formation of SNARE complexes. Most significantly, aggregated alpha-synuclein is one of the major components found in the Lewy bodies that occur in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative disorders (Okochi et al., 2000). Mutation of the alpha-synuclein gene is associated with familial forms of PD (Newmann et al., 2002). Recent evidence suggests that phosphorylation of alpha-synuclein at ser129 plays a role in the formation of inclusions in PD (Smith et al., 2005; Masliah et al., 2005).

ncbi summary : 
may play a role in regulation of synaptic vesicle biogenesis and organization; may be involved in neurotransmission [RGD, Feb 2006]
uniprot summary : 
Function: May be involved in the regulation of dopamine release and transport.  Subunit structure: Interacts with UCHL1. Ref.7.  Subcellular location: Cytoplasm .  By similarity.  Tissue specificity: Found only in brain (hippocampus, brainstem and cortex). Specifically expressed in neuronal cell bodies and synapses.  Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated, predominantly on serine residues. Phosphorylated on Tyr-125 upon osmotic stress  .  By similarity.Ubiquitinated. The predominant conjugate is the diubiquitinated form. Ref.7Acetylation at Met-1 seems to be important for proper folding and native oligomeric structure  .  By similarity.  Sequence similarities: Belongs to the synuclein family.
