• Species Reactivity

  Human

• Specificity

  Detects human beta -Synuclein in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs, approximately 10% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) alpha -Synuclein and less than 1% cross-reactivity with rh gamma -Synuclein is observed.

Background: beta-Synuclein

beta -Synuclein is a 19 kDa, 134 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic phosphoprotein that is a member of a family of small, highly conserved proteins, including synucleins alpha, beta, and gamma (synoretin), localized predominantly in presynaptic nerve terminals in the brain. beta -Synuclein  associates with alpha -Synuclein, preventing it from aggregating. Abnormal alpha -Synuclein aggregates form filamentous inclusions (Lewy bodies) in neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease. Within the region used as an immunogen, human SNCB shares 99% aa identity with mouse and rat beta -Synuclein.
