Specificity/Sensitivity

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

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody 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).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
