Specificity
This antibody recognizes the fibrillar morphological form of human alpha-synuclein. Alpha- synuclein is a small 140 amino acid presynaptic neuronal protein, a major component of Lewy bodies and a member of the synuclein family. Misfolding, abnormal accumulation, and secretion of α-Synuclein (α-Syn) are closely associated with synucleinopathies, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). α-syn is abundant in the brain, and smaller amounts are found in the heart, muscles, and other tissues. In the brain, α-syn is found mainly at the tips of neurons in the specialized structures known as presynaptic terminals and has been shown to comprise up to ∼1% of total proteins in the neuronal cytosol. Recent evidence suggests that α- synuclein (α-syn) can contribute to the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Alternative Names
SNCA; NACP; PARK1; alpha-syn; α-Synuclein; α-syn; Non-A beta component of AD amyloid; Non-A4 component of amyloid precursor; fibrillar α-synuclein; fibrillar α-syn
UniProt

Immunogen
The original antibody was isolated from a human Tomlinson I and J scFv antibody libraries by panning the library against fibrillar α-synuclein prepared as per the method given in PMID：16984950
Application Notes
The binding of this antibody to fibrillar alpha-synuclein was confirmed using ELISA. This antibody is not capable of recognizing monomeric and oligomeric forms of alpha-synuclein (PMID： 16984950).
