Description
Alpha-Synuclein (1–140), A53E is a 140-amino-acid protein representing the complete 140-residue human alpha-synuclein sequence. Alpha-synuclein is encoded by the SNCA gene; the reference sequence is recorded as UniProt P37840. Sequence reference: UniProt P37840.
Research context
This chain includes the N-terminal region at parent-sequence residues 1–60; the central non-amyloid-beta component (NAC) region at parent-sequence residues 61–95; the C-terminal region at parent-sequence residues 96–140. The intact sequence brings these regions together in one reference chain for studies of their combined structural and molecular interactions. The A53E variant replaces alanine with glutamic acid at position 53; numbering refers to the complete 140-residue protein.
Alpha-synuclein is a neuronal protein associated with synaptic vesicle biology. Its molecular association and assembly into amyloid structures are central topics in Parkinson’s disease and synucleinopathy research. Studies distinguish the functions of the N-terminal, NAC, and C-terminal regions and examine how substitutions or truncations change their relationships within the protein. Research reference.
Research applications
- Comparing a defined sequence variant with unmodified full-length alpha-synuclein.
- Mapping regional contributions to protein association and conformational behavior.
