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.
