Description

PhosphoPlus® Duets from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) provide a means to assess protein activation status. Each Duet contains an activation-state and total protein antibody to your target of interest. These antibodies have been selected from CST's product offering based upon superior performance in specified applications.

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.

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 that causes degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, which are 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).
