Description
Alpha-synuclein or SNCA is a synuclein protein. SNCA mainly found in the brain, small concentration of the protein can also be located in other tissues such as heart and muscle. When looking in the brain tissue, SNCA is located in the end of the neuron, in an area called presynaptic terminal. In the presynaptic terminal SNCA has interaction with phospholipids & other proteins. Neurotransmitters are released from the synaptic vesicles in the Presynaptic terminals and act as messengers. Once released, the neurotransmitters send signals across the neurons that are crucial for the brain's operation.
SNCA Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 95 amino acids (1-95 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 9.3kDa.SNCA is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
