Target data

Function

Non-amyloid component of senile plaques found in Alzheimer disease. Could act as a regulator of SNCA aggregation process. Protects neurons from staurosporine and 6-hydroxy dopamine (6OHDA)-stimulated caspase activation in a p53/TP53-dependent manner. Contributes to restore the SNCA anti-apoptotic function abolished by 6OHDA. Not found in the Lewy bodies associated with Parkinson disease.

Activity summary

Beta-synuclein also known as β-synuclein or SNCB is a protein that plays a role in the nervous system. It is a small protein with a molecular weight around 14 kDa. Predominantly beta-synuclein is found in presynaptic terminals of neurons in the central nervous system including the brain and spinal cord. This protein shares significant amino acid sequence identity with alpha-synuclein and gamma-synuclein comprising the synuclein family. It acts as a modulator of neuronal and synaptic function influencing the dynamics of neurotransmitter release.

Biological function summary

Beta-synuclein contributes to cellular homeostasis and synaptic integrity. It is not typically found as part of a larger protein complex like its relative alpha-synuclein which forms toxic aggregates. Instead beta-synuclein exhibits neuroprotective properties helping maintain neuronal health. It possibly regulates synaptic vesicle cycling and mitigates levels of alpha-synuclein aggregation. Research suggests that loss of beta-synuclein function might disrupt synaptic stability leading to neurological issues.

Pathways

Beta-synuclein engages in synaptic function and plasticity. It participates in pathways related to neurotransmitter release and synaptic vesicle trafficking. Beta-synuclein is connected to calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) pathways. This interaction supports beta-synuclein's regulatory impact on synaptic vesicle dynamics negatively modulating the aggregation-prone behaviors seen in alpha-synuclein during synucleinopathies.

Associated diseases and disorders

Beta-synuclein plays a role in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Research highlights its relationship with these conditions due to its interaction with alpha-synuclein known to form pathological aggregates and contribute to disease progression. Beta-synuclein's modulation of alpha-synuclein activity can impact the development and progression of these disorders. There is ongoing interest in its potential protective role suggesting it might be leveraged in therapeutic strategies against synucleinopathy-related diseases.

    ab6165 staining beta synuclein in human occipital cortex.
    Left panel: with primary antibody diluted 1:4000. Right panel: isotype control.
    Sections were stained using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus), at room temperature: sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffers citrate pH6.1. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
