Anti-Synaptophysin, clone Syn-58

0.5mg/ml with 1% BSA and 0.01% sodium azide if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile 1XPBS. Synaptophysin (SYP) is an integral membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles in brain and endocrine cells. Ozcelik et al.(1990) concluded that the gene has 7 exons distributed over about 20 kb. The SYP locus mapped to Xp11.23-p11.22. Regionalization of the gene on the X chromosome was also done with hamster/human hybrid cells in which various portions of the human X chromosome were present. Protein function: Possibly involved in structural functions as organizing other membrane components or in targeting the vesicles to the plasma membrane. Involved in the regulation of short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity. [The UniProt Consortium]
