ELISA: 1/1000-1/10000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/50-1/200. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.
The synuclein family members, including α-synuclein (also designated NACP for non-β Amyloid component) and β-synuclein, are predominantly expressed in the brain and are speculated to be involved in synaptic regulation and neuronal plasticity. α-synuclein is localized to neuronal cell bodies and synapses. α-synuclein was first identified as a component of Alzheimer's disease amyloid plaques. Abnormal platelet function in Alzheimer's disease has been demonstrated. During megakaryocytic differentiation α-synuclein has been found to be upregulated, while β-synuclein is downregulated, indicating that coordinate expression of synucleins may be important during hematopoetic cell differentiation. A mutant form of α-synuclein has been found in patients with early onset Parkinson's disease.Synonyms: NACP, Non-A beta component of AD amyloid, Non-A4 component of amyloid precursor, PARK1
