Cat. No. 119 003 |
50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin was added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use. Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze! |
Applications | |
Immunogen | Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human SV2 A (UniProt Id: Q7L0J3) |
Reactivity |
Reacts with: human (Q7L0J3), rat (Q02563), mouse (Q9JIS5), Guinea pig, cow, hamster, chicken, zebrafish. Other species not tested yet. |
Matching control protein/peptide | 119-0P |
Remarks |
WB: SV2 A aggregates after boiling, making it necessary to run SDS-PAGE with non-boiled samples. |
Data sheet | 119_003.pdf |
SV2s (synaptic vesicle protein 2) are integral membrane glycoproteins present in all synaptic vesicles. They have 12 transmembrane domains predicted by sequence analysis. There are three characterized isoforms, SV2 A, SV2 B and SV2 C. SV2 A is expressed ubiquitously throughout the brain and is probably involved in the maintenance of a pool of synaptic vesicles competent for calcium- stimulated exocytosis. SV2 B has a more restricted distribution with varying degrees of coexpression with SV2 A. SV2 C is more closely related to SV2 A but shows a very restricted expression pattern. The highest expression levels were observed in phylogenetically old brain areas like pallidum, the midbrain and the olfactory bulb. SV2 expression has also been observed in other organs. In kidney it localizes to podocytes.
