Description

General description

Anti-SynCAM is developed in rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids located at the C-terminus of mouse SynCAM1 conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as immunogen. Synaptic cell adhesion molecule (SynCAM) is a brain-specific protein which has an immunoglobulin domain. It binds to intracellular PDZ-domain protein. SynCAMs have also been called nectin-like molecules (Necls). SynCAM1 is also known as Necl-2/ IGSF4/ RA175/ SgIGSF/ TSLC1. SynCAM contains an N-terminal signal peptide, three extracellular Ig domains, a single transmembrane region and a short C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. It is expressed only in brain and is localized to synapses.

SynCAM proteins consist of a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain, an N-terminal signaling domain and three extracellular immunoglobulin domains.. Anti-SynCAM antibody is specific for SynCAM in mouse and rats. The SynCAM1 immunizing peptide (mouse, amino acids 431-445) specifically inhibits the staining of the SynCAM band in immunoblotting.

Immunogen

This immunogen sequence is identical in human SynCAM1, highly conserved (90%) in the splice variant SynCAM2 and displays limited homology (55%) to SynCAM3.

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 431-445 located at the C-terminus of mouse SynCAM1 conjugated to KLH.

Application

• Anti-SynCAM antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
• immunoprecipitation
• immunoblotting
• immunohistochemistry
• immunostaining
• immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

SynCAM is a neurological cell-adhesion protein that regulates the formation of synapses. Expression of synaptic cell adhesion molecule (SynCAM) in non-neuronal cells induces synaptic formation and affects synaptic function in hippocampal neurons. It functions as a homophilic cell adhesion molecule at the synapse. SynCAM is believed to interact with PDZ-domain synaptic proteins CASK and syntenin via its cytoplasmic tail.

Physical form
