Background | Alpha-synuclein (SNCA) is expressed predominantly in the brain, where it is concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals. Alpha-synuclein is highly expressed in the mitochondria of the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, striatum, and thalamus. Functionally, it has been shown to significantly interact with tubulin and may serve as a potential microtubule-associated protein. It has also been found to be essential for normal development of cognitive functions; inactivation may lead to impaired spatial learning and working memory. SNCA fibrillar aggregates represent the major non-A-beta component of Alzheimer's disease amyloid plaque, and a major component of Lewy body inclusions, and Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive accumulation in selected neurons of protein inclusions containing alpha-synuclein and ubiquitin. |

Biological Activity | Endogenous alpha-synuclein phosphorylation. 100 µM alpha synuclein protein monomer seeded with 10 uM alpha synuclein protein PFF in 25 µM Thioflavin T (PBS pH 7.4, 100 µl reaction volume) generated an increased fluorescence intensity after incubation at 37°C with shaking at 600 rpm. Fluorescence was measured by excitation at 450 nm and emission at 485 nm on a Molecular Devices Gemini XPS microplate reader. |
