Biotin-LC Alpha-Synuclein (41-60) Peptide is derived from the canonical 140-amino-acid human alpha-synuclein protein encoded by SNCA. The sequence corresponds to residues 41-60 of the public UniProtKB P37840 alpha-synuclein sequence.
Alpha-Synuclein Biology
Alpha-synuclein is a neuronal protein associated with presynaptic vesicles and is studied extensively in synaptic biology, membrane interaction, protein aggregation, and neurodegenerative disease research. The canonical human protein contains 140 amino acids.
The N-terminal region contains repeated KTKEGV-like motifs and can adopt amphipathic helices upon membrane binding. The central hydrophobic region contributes to fibril formation, while the C-terminal region is acidic, disordered, and rich in sites for protein interaction and post-translational modification.
Fragment Location: Residues 41-60
This fragment lies in the N-terminal amphipathic repeat region of alpha-synuclein, a region involved in membrane interaction and helical structure formation.
Special Feature of LT8707
The LC-biotin modification provides an affinity/detection handle while adding a spacer between biotin and the peptide.
Research Applications
- Alpha-synuclein antibody epitope mapping
- ELISA and binding assays
- Protein-peptide interaction studies
- Aggregation-related research
- Post-translational modification studies
- Assay controls and standards
Canonical Human Alpha-Synuclein Sequence Source
The complete 140-residue human sequence is publicly curated in UniProtKB entry P37840. The peptide sequence in LT8707 is a contiguous fragment of that canonical sequence, with the indicated research modification where applicable.
