Extra Details:: α-Synuclein is a protein of 140-amino acids expressed abundantly in the brain. α-Synuclein is also the main component of pathogenic Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. Research studies have shown that mutations of the α-Synuclein gene are linked to Parkinson's disease (1). Various research studies have shown that phosphorylation of α-Synuclein at Ser129 is a highly toxic event causing degeneration of dopaminergic neurons associated with Parkinson's disease. This is proposed to occur through increased misfolding, aggregation, and accumulation of α-Synuclein phosphorylated at this site (2). GSK-3β is one of several kinases that has been reported to phosphorylate α-Synuclein at Ser129 (3). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunofluorescence. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:1000. Incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween-20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight. Immunofluorescence (frozen): 1:400 - 1:1600 Immunoprecipitation: 1:50 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt.
