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 residues surrounding (AA 450) of rat Synapsin2 (UniProt Id: Q63537-1) |
| Recommended dilution | Optimal concentrations should be determined by the end-user. |
| Matching antibodies | 106 203, 106 211, 106 205 |
| Remarks |
This control peptide consists of the synthetic peptide (aa 440-458 of mouse Synapsin 2) 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. |

Synapsins are neuron-specific phosphoproteins that are exclusively associated with small synaptic vesicles, with little or no expression in other tissues including neuroendocrine cells. In mammals, three distinct synapsin genes (synapsin1, 2 and 3) encode more than eight neuronal isoforms.
Synapsin1 is one of the most specific markers of synapses throughout the central and peripheral nervous system. In addition to synaptic nerve terminals, the protein is also present in certain sensory nerve endings. It is expressed in two splice variants (synapsin1a and synapsin1b). Synapsin1 interacts with vesicle membranes as well as with actin and spectrin.
Synapsin2 is expressed in the nervous system and also two splice variants were described so far, while synapsin3 shows a more restricted expression pattern and is mainly found in the hippocampus.
Synapsins are major phosphoproteins and are substrates for several protein kinases such as PKA, CaMK I and CaMK II. Synapsin1 is widely used as reference substrate for calmodulin-dependent protein kinases.
