    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody retains the antigen-binding Fab regions of the original parent host sequence from which it is engineered. This antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as Phospho-alpha-Synuclein (Ser129) (D1R1R) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody #23706.

    Product Usage Information

    Application Dilution
    Immunofluorescence (Frozen) 1:200 - 1:800

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Phospho-alpha-Synuclein (Ser129) (D1R1R) Mouse Chimeric Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of α-Synuclein protein only when phosphorylated at Ser129. Specificity of nuclear staining is unclear but consistent with previous publications (4).

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    This recombinant chimeric antibody is engineered from Phospho-alpha-Synuclein (Ser129) (D1R1R) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody #23706 according to animal-free protocols. The chimeric antibody retains its antigen-binding Fab regions from the original rabbit monoclonal antibody but contains a mouse-derived Fc domain. When multiplexing, Fc-directed rabbit secondaries are required to detect rabbit-host primary antibodies.

    The parent antibody, Phospho-alpha-Synuclein (Ser129) (D1R1R) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody #23706, is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser129 of human α-Synuclein protein.

    Background

    α-Synuclein is a protein of 140-amino acids expressed abundantly in the brain. α-Synuclein is also the main component of pathogenic Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites. Research studies have shown that mutations of the α-Synuclein gene are linked to Parkinson's disease (1).

    Various research studies have shown that phosphorylation of α-Synuclein at Ser129 is a highly toxic event causing degeneration of dopaminergic neurons associated with Parkinson's disease. This is proposed to occur through increased misfolding, aggregation, and accumulation of α-Synuclein phosphorylated at this site (2). GSK-3β is one of several kinases that has been reported to phosphorylate α-Synuclein at Ser129 (3).
