Alpha-Synuclein, Delta-NAC

Alpha-Synuclein (α-Synuclein) is a 14 kD (140 amino acids) acidic presynaptic protein and is a major component of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) aggregates. α-Synuclein is implicated in the pathogenesis of PD and related neurodegenerative disorders. α-Synuclein also accumulates in the brains of sporadic PD patients as a major component of Lewy bodies, which are intraneuronal cytoplasmic inclusions characteristic of PD. α-Synuclein appears to associate with other proteins that aggregate and is found in beta-amyloid plaques and neuritic tangles in Alzheimer’s disease 3. rPeptide offers a wide array of synuclein products, including fragments, mutants, preformed fibrils, and labeled versions in addition to the wild-type protein. A deletion mutant of α-synuclein that lacks the NAC region (amino acid
61-95). 6 amino acids were added as a linker.
