Gene Information

human ... SNCB(6620)

General description

SNCB (synuclein β) is a 134 amino acids protein, and is homologous to α-synuclein, which is composed of 140 amino acids. It has a putative molecular weight of 19kDa. It shares high homology to PNP14 (phosphoneuroprotein 14) found in bovines. It has a predominant expression in human brain, and is localized mainly to presynaptic nerve terminals. It is a member of synuclein proteins which are cytosolic in nature, and apart from β- and α-, also includes γ-synuclein.

Immunogen

Immunogen Sequence: GI # 4507111, sequence 1-134
Recombinant β-synuclein

Application

Anti-SNCB antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-synuclein is associated with Parkinson disease along with other neurodegenerative disorders. The β-synuclein protein is highly homologous to the α-synuclein protein and both may be able to inhibit phospholipase D2 selectively. β-synuclein is also expressed in astrocytes. Both α-synuclein and β-synuclein are abundantly expressed in the central nervous system, but β-synuclein is absent in the pathological inclusions. It is thought to have a protective role during ageing. The reduction in this protein in brain cortex is linked to a subgroup of dementia, which contains Lewy bodies.

Physical form

Abnormal α-synuclein aggregates are hallmarks of a number of neurodegenerative diseases. Alpha synuclein and β-synucleins are susceptible to post-translational modification as isoaspartate protein damage, which is regulated in vivo by the action of the repair enzyme protein L-isoaspartyl O-methyltransferase (PIMT).

Lewy body diseases include dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease. Whereas dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease can be distinguished as separate clinical entities, the pathological picture is very often identical. α-synuclein aggregation is a key event in

Two abundant proteins of 140 and 134 amino acids were purified and sequenced from human brain. They were identified through their reactivity on immunoblots with a partially characterised monoclonal antibody that recognises tau protein in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. The 140

The beta-synuclein protein is highly homologous to the alpha-synuclein protein for which two mutations were reported in some familial cases of Parkinson disease. It has been shown that both alpha- and beta-synucleins may be able to inhibit phospholipase D2 selectively.
