Description
Alpha-Synuclein fragment (61–80) is a 20-amino-acid peptide fragment corresponding to human alpha-synuclein residues 61–80. 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 central non-amyloid-beta component (NAC) region at parent-sequence residues 61–80. The fragment’s 61–80 boundary defines which portions of the parent sequence are present. Comparisons with the 1–140 chain or overlapping fragments can investigate the contribution of those regions to conformation, molecular recognition, and self-association.
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.
