Supplementary information

α-Synuclein is a presynaptic neuronal protein involved in synaptic vesicle trafficking and neurotransmitter release. In Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies, α-synuclein undergoes misfolding and aggregation, leading to the formation of Lewy bodies, a pathological hallmark of the disease.

Several α-synuclein species are commonly measured as biomarkers in research and clinical studies, including total α-synuclein, oligomeric α-synuclein, and phosphorylated α-synuclein. Total α-synuclein reflects the overall protein level, while oligomeric α-synuclein represents aggregated soluble forms that are considered the most neurotoxic species and are believed to play a key role in neuronal damage. In addition, phosphorylated α-synuclein at serine 129 is strongly associated with pathological aggregation, as the majority of α-synuclein present in Lewy bodies is phosphorylated at this residue.

Measurement of these different α-synuclein species helps characterize disease pathology, progression, and therapeutic response in Parkinson’s disease studies.
