α-Synuclein is a neuronal protein encoded by the SNCA gene that regulates synaptic vesicle trafficking and subsequent neurotransmitter release. α-Synuclein is a prominent component of intracellular fibrillary aggregates in the brains of patients suffering from synucleinopathies. This protein represents a key molecular hallmark for Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, or multiple system atrophy. The extensive phosphorylation of α-Synuclein on Ser129 is also associated with a pathological event.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Human and Mouse Total α-Synuclein Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of total alpha synuclein in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.
