Synaptobrevin1 peptide - 104-0P

Synaptobrevin1 also known as Vamp1 is a major vesicle protein involved in fusion
control peptide
Cat. No.: 104-0P
Amount: 100 µg
Price: $105.00
Cat. No. 104-0P 100 µg peptide, lyophilized. For reconstitution add 100 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Control peptides should be stored at -20°C when still lyophilized!
Applications
 
Immunogen Synthetic peptide corresponding to AA 2 to 14 from rat Synaptobrevin1 (UniProt Id: Q63666)
Recommended dilution Optimal concentrations should be determined by the end-user.
Matching antibodies 104 002
Remarks

This control peptide consists of the synthetic peptide (SAPAQPPAEGTEG) that has been used for immunization. It has been tested in preadsorption experiments and blocks efficiently and specifically the corresponding signal in Western blots. The amount of peptide needed for efficient blocking depends on the titer and on the affinity of the antibody to the antigen.

Background

Synaptobrevins/VAMPs represents a family of integral membrane proteins of 11-13 kDa with the N-terminal region exposed to the cytoplasm and a C-terminal transmembrane domain. Two isoforms were identified in the mammalian CNS, synaptobrevin1 (VAMP1 or p18-1) and synaptobrevin2 (VAMP2 or p18-2) that differ in their distribution within different brain regions.
Synaptobrevin1 is highly conserved between vertebrates and invertebrates. It is a major constituent of synaptic vesicles and peptidergic secretory granules in all neurons examined so far. In addition, it is present on secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells. Low levels of synaptobrevin2 are present in many other tissues where the protein resides on specialized microvesicles.
In non-neuronal cells the third isoform, cellubrevin (VAMP3), is present where it is localized to an endosomal membrane pool.
Synaptobrevin/VAMP is an essential component of the exocytotic fusion machine, related to a larger protein family referred to as v-SNAREs. It is the sole target for tetanus and several of the botulinal neurotoxins which cleave the protein at single sites in the C-terminal portion of the molecule.
