Extra Details:
Alpha-Synuclein (SNCA) is expressed predominantly in the brain, where it is concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals (1). Alpha-synuclein is highly expressed in the mitochondria of the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, striatum and thalamus (2). Functionally, it has been shown to significantly interact with tubulin (3), and may serve as a potential microtubule-associated protein. It has also been found to be essential for normal development of the cognitive functions; inactivation may lead to impaired spatial learning and working memory (4). SNCA fibrillar aggregates represent the major non A-beta component of Alzheimers 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 (5, 6). The A53T mutation is a missense point mutation where alanine is replaced by threonine at the 53rd amino acid. This mutation has been linked to early-onset Parkinson's Disease and increased rates of alpha synuclein fibrillization.

SDS-PAGE of Rat Alpha Synuclein Protein Monomer (SPR-481)
Thioflavin T is a fluorescent dye that binds to beta sheet-rich structures, such as those in alpha synuclein monomers and fibrils. Upon binding, the emission spectrum of the dye experiences a red-shift, and increased fluorescence intensity. The Rat Alpha Synuclein monomer (SPR-481) is very active and was able to form more beta-sheet structure alone than with the combination of monomer and fibril. In combination, the fibril (SPR-482) is the majority of the seed.
