Bassoon presynaptic cytomatrix protein (BSN) is a 420kDa protein which is expressed in the neuronal synapses. The gene encoding it is located on human chromosome 3p21. The gene ID of the protein is 8927.
Specificity
Detects ~420 kDa, corresponding to the molecular mass of Bassoon. Multiple isoforms can be detected.
Immunogen
NM_003458.3 (AA 786-1041) N-terminal his-tagged fusion protein
Biochem/physiol Actions
Bassoon presynaptic cytomatrix protein (BSN) acts as a scaffold protein and mediates release of neurotransmitters. It is also a part of trafficking and helps in delivery of proteins across the synapse.

Bassoon is a novel 420-kDa protein recently identified as a component of the cytoskeleton at presynaptic neurotransmitter release sites. Analysis of the rat and mouse sequences revealed a polyglutamine stretch in the C-terminal part of the protein. Since it is
Sustained rate-coded signals encode many types of sensory modalities. Some sensory synapses possess specialized ribbon structures, which tether vesicles, to enable high-frequency signaling. However, central synapses lack these structures, yet some can maintain signaling over a wide bandwidth. To analyze
Neuromodulators bind to pre- and postsynaptic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), are able to quickly change intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) and Ca2+ levels, and are thought to play important roles in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we discovered in human neurons
There is increasing evidence that genome-wide association (GWA) studies represent a powerful approach to the identification of genes involved in common human diseases. We describe a joint GWA study (using the Affymetrix GeneChip 500K Mapping Array Set) undertaken in the
