Mouse Alpha-Synuclein Monomer Protein for Making Pre-Formed Fibrils
Protein
Full-length mouse alpha-synuclein monomeric protein specially formulated to generate pre-formed fibrils. Please note, we recommend this protein for in vitro studies but not for in vivo experiments (the protein is validated for pS129 alpha-synuclein pathology in vitro but in vivo validation failed as robust pS129 alpha-synuclein pathology was not observed). These highly pure proteins are recommended for biochemical studies and can be used to form fibrils, but these fibrils have been found to lack seeding activity.
Note: A protocol for generating pre-formed fibrils from this monomeric protein will be included with each order.
Mouse Alpha-Synuclein Monomer Protein for Making Pre-Formed Fibrils
Protein
Full-length mouse alpha-synuclein monomeric protein specially formulated to generate pre-formed fibrils. Please note, we recommend this protein for in vitro studies but not for in vivo experiments (the protein as validated for pS129 alpha-synuclein pathology in vitro but in vivo validation failed as robust pS129 alpha-synuclein pathology was not observed).
Note: A protocol for generating pre-formed fibrils from this monomeric protein will be included with each order.
*Discontinued for fibrils lack of seeding activity.

"We have shown, thanks in part to MJFF, that researchers now have in their pantry the right ‘ingredients’, to... help to drive forward PD drug development.”
