Target

  • Function

    May be involved in the regulation of dopamine release and transport. Induces fibrillization of microtubule-associated protein tau. Reduces neuronal responsiveness to various apoptotic stimuli, leading to a decreased caspase-3 activation.
  • Tissue specificity

    Expressed principally in brain but is also expressed in low concentrations in all tissues examined except in liver. Concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals.
  • Involvement in disease

    Genetic alterations of SNCA resulting in aberrant polymerization into fibrils, are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases (synucleinopathies). SNCA fibrillar aggregates represent the major non A-beta component of Alzheimer disease amyloid plaque, and a major component of Lewy body inclusions. They are also found within Lewy body (LB)-like intraneuronal inclusions, glial inclusions and axonal spheroids in neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation type 1.
    Parkinson disease 1
    Parkinson disease 4
    Dementia Lewy body
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the synuclein family.
  • Domain

    The 'non A-beta component of Alzheimer disease amyloid plaque' domain (NAC domain) is involved in fibrils formation. The middle hydrophobic region forms the core of the filaments. The C-terminus may regulate aggregation and determine the diameter of the filaments.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylated, predominantly on serine residues. Phosphorylation by CK1 appears to occur on residues distinct from the residue phosphorylated by other kinases. Phosphorylation of Ser-129 is selective and extensive in synucleinopathy lesions. In vitro, phosphorylation at Ser-129 promoted insoluble fibril formation. Phosphorylated on Tyr-125 by a PTK2B-dependent pathway upon osmotic stress.
    Hallmark lesions of neurodegenerative synucleinopathies contain alpha-synuclein that is modified by nitration of tyrosine residues and possibly by dityrosine cross-linking to generated stable oligomers.
    Ubiquitinated. The predominant conjugate is the diubiquitinated form.
    Acetylation at Met-1 seems to be important for proper folding and native oligomeric structure.
  • Cellular localization

    Cytoplasm, cytosol. Membrane. Nucleus. Cell junction, synapse. Secreted. Membrane-bound in dopaminergic neurons.

    Question

    I was wondering whether it is possible to ask for the peptides for immunization to produce this antibody since I see from a different question that the epitopes have not been mapped?

    Asked on Sep 29 2017

    Answer

    I would like to confirm that the epitope for this antibody has not been mapped and that the immunogen used was not a peptide but the full length protein.

    The alternative antibodies we have against this target for which the epitopes have been mapped are:

    > ab138501: rabbit monoclonal antibody, KO validated, that binds to amino acids 118-123 (VDPDNE). https://www.abcam.com/ab138501.

    > ab27766: mouse monoclonal antibody that binds in the region encoded by amino acids 115-122 of alpha-synuclein. https://www.abcam.com/ab27766.

    Question

    Good afternoon Cold you please tell me if ab1903 (mouse monoclonal antibody to alpha Synuclein) recognises either non-phosphorylated or phosphorylated alpha synuclein, or both.

    Asked on Sep 07 2011

    Answer

    Thank you for your email. We have not checked for specificity against the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated form of alpha synuclein, therefore we do not have this information. If you do decide to test this antibody for specificity we would be happy to hear your feedback. We like to encourage all of our customers to submit an Abreview via the online product datasheet. We always appreciate customer feedback, whether positive or negative, and we make all product information available to researchers. Plus, each Abreview earns Abpoints that can be used for discounts on future purchases or rewards such as Amazon.com gift certificates. To find out more about our Abreview system, please see the following link: https://www.abcam.com/abreviews I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further advice or information in this regard.

    Question

    Customer is interested in using this antibody in IHC with mouse tissue; should a Mouse on Mouse kit be used?

    Verified customer

    Asked on Jan 12 2006

    Answer

    Thank you for your enquiry. We guarantee that this antibody will work in IHC and cross-react with mouse alpha synuclein. We would recommend using this antibody as per our general IHC protocol (protocols for both frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections can be found by clicking on the protocols tab located on the online datasheet). However, if after you experience problems with high background, using a Mouse on Mouse kit from Vector would be suggested. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions.
