Anti-SYNGR2 antibody produced in rabbit

SYNGR2 (synaptogyrin 2) belongs to the synaptogyrin protein family, which consists of three members- SYNGR1-3. This protein has a wide range of tissue expression, except for brain. It is a membrane protein, and contains four conserved transmembrane regions. In adipose tissues, cardiomyocytes and skeletal muscles, it co-localizes with Glut4 (glucose transporter).

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

The exact function of SYNGR2 (synaptogyrin 2) is not fully characterized. However, it is tyrosine phosphorylated at its C-terminal, and might be involved in controlling membrane trafficking in non-neuronal cells. Studies performed on PC12 cell lines show that SYNGR2 is capable of inducing the production of synaptic-like microvesicles (SLMVs). It facilitates membrane curvature, by assuming an inverted cone form, which aids in the budding of the donor membrane. SYNGR2-positive vesicles are thought to be involved in vesicle transport intracellularly, and phosphatidylinositol 4-Kinase Type IIα (PI4K type IIα) is only targeted to such vesicles. PI4K type IIα is responsible for the activity of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase in relation to Glut4 (glucose transporter). It is also responsible for the transport of Glut4 in response to insulin, and is present in the vesicles that shuttle Glut4 between recycling and sorting endosomes.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
