Alpha-Synuclein
Product background: Alpha-Synuclein (α-Synuclein) is a presynaptic protein found to be a major component of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) aggregates and is implicated in the pathogenesis of PD and related neurodegenerative disorders.
About the product: Expressed recombinantly in E. coli, human Alpha-Synuclein is purified to our highest standards to ensure batch to batch consistency in both purity and quality.
Applications: The Alpha-Synuclein is sold in 20mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, pH 7.4 to ensure a highly monomeric starting material that could be suited to aggregation studies, seeding experiments, molecular standards, and more.
