Scientific Background | Alpha-synuclein undergoes various post-translational modifications, including C-terminal truncations, which can significantly impact its aggregation and pathology in neurodegenerative diseases (1). These truncations are enriched in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, accelerating aggregation and enhancing prion-like spreading in Parkinson's disease models. Notably, antibodies targeting phosphorylated alpha-synuclein at serine 129 (PS129) may not detect C-terminal truncated forms, as these modifications can alter the epitope recognized by the antibody. This highlights the importance of selecting appropriate antibodies for detecting specific alpha-synuclein species in research (3). |
