Company Info:

rPeptide is a biotechnology company located in Athens, Georgia, USA, and is a market leader in providing research products (recombinant peptides and proteins, antibodies, reagents) for Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease research. rPeptide also provides a range of custom services from molecular biology, protein expression and purification, to 13C and 15N uniform labeling of peptides and proteins.

rPeptide has a proprietary platform vector technology that enables the expression of historically difficult peptides/proteins as soluble peptides/proteins (like amylin, beta-amyloid, leptin, pro-insulin) in E. coli. For more information, contact:

Summary

Alpha Synuclein, 1-60

Alpha Synuclein, 1-95

Alpha Synuclein, 61-140

Alpha Synuclein, 96-140

Alpha Synuclein, 1-60

MW: 6,149 Da
Lyophilized powder. Purity > 95% by SDS-PAGE; A deletion mutant of Alpha-Synuclein (amino acids 1-60), which contains the N-terminal amphipathic domain. Alpha-Synuclein is a 14 kD (140 amino acids) acidic presynaptic protein. It is a major component of Parkinson’s disease aggregates and is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. Alpha-Synuclein accumulates in the brains of sporadic Parkinson’s disease patients as a major component of Lewy bodies, which are intraneuronal cytoplasmic inclusions characteristic of Parkinson’s disease. Alpha-Synuclein appears to associate with other proteins that aggregate and is found in amyloid plaques and neuritic tangles in Alzheimer’s disease.

MW: 8,460 Da

Description:
Lyophilized powder. Purity > 95% by SDS-PAGE; A deletion mutant of Alpha-synuclein (amino acids 61-140). Additional amino acid (Met) is attached at the N-terminus.
