IHC staining of α-Synuclein deposits with anti-α-Synuclein, aggregated antibody (clone Syn-F1) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded Parkinson's disease brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using citrate and 0.25% Triton X-100, the tissue was incubated with the primary antibody at 1 µg/mL overnight at 4°C. Biolegend's Ultra-Streptavidin (USA) HRP Detection Kit was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. -
Dot-blot of anti-α-Synuclein antibodies (clones Syn-F1 and 4B12/Synuclein) and isotype-matched IgG1 control, demonstrating their binding to α-synuclein conformers (monomeric and fibrillar). Note that these antibodies do not cross-react with amyloid beta peptide (Aβ1-42). Blots were incubated at room temperature for two hours with 0.5 µg/mL of the primary antibodies, followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (clone Poly4053).

α-Synuclein is expressed principally in the nervous system, but it is also produced in other tissues, including the skin. In the brain, the protein is primarily neuronal, but it is also present in glia. Neuronal α-synuclein is concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals, interacts with plasma membrane phospholipids, and is also present in nuclei and mitochondria. At least three isoforms of synuclein are produced through alternative splicing. The most common isoform is a 140 amino acid-long transcript. Other isoforms are α-synuclein-126, lacking residues 41-54; and α-synuclein-112, which lacks residues 103-130. α-synuclein’s physiological role is poorly understood, but the protein has been implicated in regulating dopamine release and transport, synaptic vesicle clustering, and functioning as a SNARE-complex chaperone. α-Synuclein fibrils are a major component of the intracellular Lewy bodies that are associated with Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and multiple system atrophy.
