General description

Anti-Synaptophysin antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma SVP-38 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synaptosome preparation from rat retina. Synaptophysin is a glycoprotein containing four transmembrane domains with both N and C termini on the cytoplasm face.
Synaptophysin (SYP) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome Xp11.23-p11.22. The encoded protein has a molecular mass of 38kDa and is exclusively localized to the membrane of presynaptic vesicles.

Specificity

Anti-Synaptophysin antibody, Mouse monoclonal recognizes rat, human, guinea-pig, and pig synaptophysin

Immunogen

synaptosome preparation from rat retina. The isotype is determined by ELISA using Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Isotyping Reagents (Sigma ISO-2). The antibody is purified from culture supernatant of hybridoma cells grown in a bioreactor.

Application

Anti-Synaptophysin antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in following immunochemical techniques:
  • Immunoblotting
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunofluorescence

Biochem/physiol Actions

Synaptophysin (SYP) facilitates neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity. It is also implicated in synaptic vesicle formation and exocytosis. Mutation in the gene increases the risk of susceptibility to schizophrenia. It is widely used as a potential marker to study the circulation of synapses in the brain and to discover the basic features of the life cycle of synaptic vesicles (SVs).
Synaptophysin has also been implicated in the recycling of synaptic vesicles by associating with dynamin I, a GTPase required for endocytosis.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
