Presynaptic Vesicle Cycle Antibody Sampler Kit #33738

    Product Information

    Product Description

    The Presynaptic Vesicle Cycle Antibody Sampler Kit provides an economical means of detecting expression of key synaptic vesicle proteins. The kit includes enough antibodies to perform two western blot experiments with each primary antibody.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Each antibody in the Presynaptic Vesicle Cycle Antibody Sampler Kit detects endogenous levels of its target protein. VAMP2 (D6O1A) Rabbit mAb does not cross-react with VAMP1 protein and recognizes VAMP2 protein by IF-IC analysis in mouse and rat cells. Complexin-1/2 (D8A6E) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total complexin-1 and complexin-2 protein. Complexin-1 (D5Q5H) Rabbit mAb does not cross-react with complexin-2. Synaptotagmin-1 (D33B7) Rabbit mAb may also cross-react with an unidentified protein of approximately 45 kDa. The antigen for Synapsin-1 (D12G5) XP® Rabbit mAb is 100% conserved between human synapsin-1a and synapsin-1b.

    Source / Purification

    Complexin-1 (D5Q5H) Rabbit mAb is produced by immunizing recombinant protein specific to human complexin-1 protein. Complexin-1/2 (D8A6E) Rabbit mAb is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro125 of human complexin-2 protein. VAMP2 (D6O1A) Rabbit mAb is produced by immunizing recombinant protein specific to the amino terminus of human VAMP2 protein. All other monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptides corresponding to Asp110 of human SNAP25, Val237 of human syntaxin 1A, Gly299 of human synaptophysin, Arg400 of human synaptotagmin-1, Gln483 of human synapsin-1, and Tyr157 of human Munc18-1.

    Background

    The synapse is the unit of information transfer in the brain between neurons (1). Synaptic transfer is initiated by action potential-initiated synaptic vesicles fusion at the presynaptic terminal to release neurotransmitters. The basic molecular machinery that drives all membrane fusion events in all cells include N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins that form a trans-ternary complex between to-be-fused membranes. The zippering up of SNARE proteins provides the energy required for membrane fusion. At the synapse, the SNARE proteins include 25 kDa synaptosome-associated protein (SNAP25), syntaxin 1A (STX1A), and vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2, also called synaptobrevin). Neurotransmitter release, however, is a highly regulated process that occurs in response to action potential-initiated Ca2+-influx. Regulation of synaptic vesicle fusion is mediated by SNARE-binding proteins like complexin and the Ca2+-associated vesicle protein, synaptotagmin-1, that cooperatively function to initiate Ca2+-induced synaptic vesicle fusion. The synaptic vesicle cycle represents a cycle of events that prime the synaptic vesicle before fusion and retrieve fused membrane after full fusion. Synaptic vesicle-associated proteins like synaptophysin and synapsin-1, as well as target membrane proteins like Munc18-1, play a complex role in priming synaptic vesicles to be fusion competent.
