    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    VAPB (E7R3Z) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total VAPB protein. This antibody non-specifically labels spermatids in fixed frozen mouse testis by immunofluorescence.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human VAPB protein.

    Background

    The human VAP family proteins, which include VAPA (also known as VAP33), VAPB, and VAPC, were initially identified as homologues of vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-associated protein (VAP) that is involved in exocytosis of neurotransmitters (1). VAPB is an integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein whose amino terminus projects into the cytosol. A proline to serine substitution at position-56 (VAPBP56S) leads to an autosomal-dominant form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), classified as ALS-8. (2). VAPB has been implicated in a variety of processes, including ER stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR), ER to Golgi transport, and bouton formation at the neuromuscular junction (1,2). The P56S mutation causes almost complete loss of function of VAPB to mediate UPR by inducing its misfolding and localization shift to non-ER compartments (1). A possible role of VAPB as a pathologic marker in PBMCs from ALS patients has been published (3).
