Anti-Synuclein-α antibody detects endogenous levels of total Synuclein-α protein.
The SNCA (synuclein α) gene is mapped to human chromosome 4q22.1.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Synuclein-alpha.
Immunogen Range: 86-135
Biochem/physiol Actions
Accumulation of α-synuclein in oligodendrocytes results in the loss of myelin and causes neurodegeneration, leading to multiple system atrophy. Synuclein-α is known to induce oligodendrocyte maturation. The encoded protein is considered to be an important aggregate of Lewy bodies, contributing to the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, is linked to α-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation. Despite no specific drug being available for its treatment, curcumin, from the spice turmeric, shows promise. However, its application in PD is limited by a
