Description
Alpha-Synuclein, human (1–140) 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.
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
- Comparative characterization of full-length and truncated alpha-synuclein sequences.
