    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody retains the antigen-binding Fab regions of the original parent host sequence from which it is engineered. This antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as Synaptophysin (D8F6H) XP® Rabbit mAb #36406.

    Product Usage Information

    Application Dilution
    Immunofluorescence (Frozen) 1:50 - 1:200

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Synaptophysin (D8F6H) XP® Mouse Chimeric mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Synaptophysin protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    This recombinant chimeric antibody is engineered from Synaptophysin (D8F6H) XP® Rabbit mAb #36406 according to animal-free protocols. The chimeric antibody retains its antigen-binding Fab regions from the original rabbit monoclonal antibody but contains a mouse-derived Fc domain. When multiplexing, Fc-directed rabbit secondaries are required to detect rabbit-host primary antibodies.

    The parent antibody, Synaptophysin (D8F6H) XP® Rabbit mAb #36406, is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly299 of human Synaptophysin protein.

    Background

    Synaptophysin (SYP) is a neuronal synaptic vesicle glycoprotein that is expressed in neuroendocrine cells and neoplasms (1). Synaptophysin contains four transmembrane domains that form a hexameric channel or gap junction-like pore (2). Synaptophysin binds to the SNARE protein synaptobrevin/VAMP, which prevents the inclusion of synaptobrevin in the synaptic vesicle fusion complex and creates a pool of synaptobrevin for exocytosis when synapse activity increases (3). Synaptophysin is also responsible for targeting synaptobrevin 2/VAMP2 to synaptic vesicles, a critical component of the fusion complex (4).
