α-Synuclein (61-75)
α-Synuclein (61-75) is the 61-75 fragment of α-Synuclein. α-Synuclein is an abundant neuronal protein that is highly enriched in presynaptic nerve terminals. α-Synuclein is a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD).

α-synuclein |
Lewy bodies containing α-Synuclein are a neuropathological hallmark of PD, and missense mutations in α-Synuclein (A30P, E46K, H50Q, G51D, A53E, A53T), as well as α-Synuclein gene duplications and triplications, appear to cause PD. Moreover, polymorphisms in regulatory elements of the α-Synuclein gene predispose individuals to PD and are linked to an early onset of the disease. The non-Aβ-amyloid component (NAC) region of α-synuclein is relatively hydrophobic and aggregation-prone in human α-Synuclein but not in mouse α-Synuclein nor in the corresponding homologous region of human β-synuclein. Yet, β-synuclein is more homologous to α-synuclein in the N-terminal sequences (74%) than γ-synuclein (67%)[1].

Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines:
1. Calculate the length of the peptide.
2. Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table:
| Contents | Assign value | |
| Acidic amino acid | Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. | -1 |
| Basic amino acid | Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 | +1 |
| Neutral amino acid | Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) | 0 |
3. Recommended solution:
| Overall charge of peptide | Details |
| Negative (<0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL). 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide. |
| Positive (>0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution. 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO. |
| Zero (=0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first. 2. For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration. |
