alpha -Synuclein is member of a family of small soluble proteins that include also beta -, and gamma -Synuclein. It is predominantly expressed in neurons of the central nervous system in the presynaptic region of nerve terminals, where it cycles between a free, partially unfolded and a helical, membrane-bound form. alpha -Synuclein can self-aggregate in vivo and in vitro, forming various oligomeric species and fibrillar and amorphous aggregates. The fibrils and amyloidal forms of alpha -Synuclein are major components of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites and have been linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies. alpha -Synuclein aggregates can be also found associated with amyloid plaques in Alzheirmer’s Disease.

Scientific Data Images for Human alpha-Synuclein Antibody (1060506)
Detection of alpha -Synuclein in SK‑Mel‑28 cells (positive) and HL‑60 cells (negative).
alpha -Synuclein was detected in immersion fixed SK‑Mel‑28 human malignant melanoma cells (positive) and absent in HL‑60 human acute promyelocytic leukemia cells (negative) using Mouse Anti-Human alpha -Synuclein Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11376) at 8 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL013) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of alpha -Synuclein in Human Brain Cerebellum.
alpha -Synuclein was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Human Brain Cerebellum using Mouse Anti-Human alpha -Synuclein Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11376) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to medulla.
