Alpha-synuclein phosphorylated at serine 129 (pS129; SNCA/NACP) is a key pathological marker in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. This phosphorylation event is associated with the abnormal aggregation of alpha-synuclein into Lewy bodies, which are indicative of disease. Studies have shown that pS129 not only promotes the aggregation of alpha-synuclein but also increases its neurotoxicity, contributing to neuronal death and disease progression Alpha-synuclein was the first gene to be linked to Parkinson's disease (PD) and remains the most promising link to PD pathogenesis, where there is genetic evidence that it may play a causal role. In the brain, alpha-synuclein is concentrated in presynaptic nerve terminals. The deposition of the abundant presynaptic brain protein alpha-synuclein as fibrillary aggregates in neurons or glial cells is a hallmark lesion in a subset of neurodegenerative disorders. These disorders include Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy, collectively referred to as synucleinopathies. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive accumulation in selected neurons of protein inclusions containing alpha-synuclein and ubiquitin. Recent studies also indicate that alpha-synuclein undergoes post-translational modification. Though the role of many of these modifications is still under investigation, phosphorylation at Serine 129 may affect alpha-synuclein aggregations and may also serve as marker of disease pathogenesis. With the advent of this phospho-specific Serine 129 antibody, The Michael J. Fox Foundation hopes to ensure that the putative role of this modification can be further examined by all researchers.
