Innoprot offers several Parkinson’s Disease in vitro models that address the disease through different associated cellular pathways; including parkin recruitment, MPP+ damage induction, or alpha-synuclein aggregation.
α-Synuclein is a presynaptic neuronal protein which may contribute genetically and neuropathologically to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Aggregated a-synuclein is the major component of inclusions in Parkinson’s disease; but also in other synucleinopathy brains indicating that α-synuclein aggregation may play a main role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. In this α-synuclein aggregation assay from Innoprot,…
Parkin mitochondrial recruitment assay from Innoprot is based of localization changes of two fluorescent proteins; the Parkin fluorescent fusion polypeptide that changes its localization from the cytosol to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM); and the other fluorescent fusion polypeptide (MTS-tGFP), which binds directly to OMM, allowing the mitochondrial integrity analysis. Several compounds promote Parkin recruitment,…
