Scientific Background: SNCB is a member of the synuclein family of proteins which are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. SNCB is highly homologous to alpha-synuclein which is abundantly expressed in the brain and putatively inhibits phospholipase D2 selectively. SNCB may play a role in neuronal plasticity, is abundant in neurofibrillary lesions of patients with Alzheimer disease. SNCB is shown to be highly expressed in the substantia nigra of the brain, a region of neuronal degeneration in patients with Parkinson disease but no direct relation to Parkinson disease has been established (1). An alteration in SNCB may impair its normal inhibitory action on the formation of toxic alpha-synuclein fibrils, thereby indirectly contributing to disease pathogenesis (2).

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is highly homologous to alpha-synuclein. These proteins are abundantly expressed in the brain and putatively inhibit phospholipase D2 selectively. The encoded protein, which may play a role in neuronal plasticity, is abundant in neurofibrillary lesions of patients with Alzheimer disease. This protein has been shown to be highly expressed in the substantia nigra of the brain, a region of neuronal degeneration in patients with Parkinson disease; however, no direct relation to Parkinson disease has been established. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
Function: Non-amyloid component of senile plaques found in Alzheimer disease. Could act as a regulator of SNCA aggregation process. Protects neurons from staurosporine and 6-hydroxy dopamine (6OHDA)-stimulated caspase activation in a p53/TP53-dependent manner. Contributes to restore the SNCA anti-apoptotic function abolished by 6OHDA. Not found in the Lewy bodies associated with Parkinson disease.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity: Expressed predominantly in brain; concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals.
Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation by G-protein coupled receptor kinases (GRK) is more efficient than phosphorylation by CK1, CK2 and CaM-kinase II. Ref.7
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the synuclein family.

Product Notes
The SNCB sncb (Catalog #AAA515405) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The tag for this protein is His tag!!Expression System||E.coli!!Source Note||Recombinant full length human SNCB was expressed in E. coli cells. AAA Biotech's SNCB can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SNCB sncb for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "SNCB, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
