anti-γ-Synuclein, pAb

Synuclein is a small, soluble protein primarily expressed in neural tissue. The synuclein family includes three known proteins: α-synuclein, β-synuclein, and γ-synuclein. γ-Synuclein is a synuclein protein found primarily in the peripheral nervous system (in primary sensory neurons, sympathetic neurons, and motor neurons) and retina. γ-Synuclein expression in breast tumors is a marker for tumor progression. Plays a role in neurofilament network integrity. May be involved in modulating axonal architecture during development and in the adult. In vitro, increases the susceptibility of neurofilament-H to calcium-dependent proteases. May also function in modulating the keratin network in skin. Activates the MAPK and Elk-1 signal transduction pathway.
