EndoClear™ Plus human recombinant a-Synuclein protein

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.

*For more stringent applications, EndoClear™Plus offers the lowest endotoxin research grade
alpha-synuclein protein available in the market.

Full-length Recombinant human alpha-synuclein (GenBank Accession # NP_000336) was expressed in E. coli., and purified from bacterial lysate using proprietary method. Endotoxin was further removed by proprietary technique. Molecular weight of the recombinant α-synuclein protein is 14.5 kDa.
