SNCA antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. At least three isoforms of SNCA are known to exist.
Purification
SNCA antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
SNCA antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human SNCA. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of SNCA.
SNCA antibody can be used for detection of SNCA by Western blot at 1 - 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for Immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human and mouse samples, Immunohistochemistry in rat samples and Immunofluorescence in rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Alpha-Synuclein (SNCA) is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (1,2). It is a cytoplasmic protein that is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system (2). SNCA reduces neuronal responsiveness to various apoptotic stimuli, leading to the decreased caspase-3 activation. SNCA may be involved in the regulation of dopamine release and transport and induces fibrillization of microtubule-associated protein tau (3). Defects in SNCA are associated with familial Parkinson's disease (4,5).
