| Background Information | Synapsin I is a member of the synapsin family. Synapsins are neuronal phosphoproteins which associate with the cytoplasmic surface of synaptic vesicles. Family members are characterized by common protein domains, and they are implicated in synaptogenesis and the modulation of neurotransmitter release, suggesting a potential role in several neuropsychiatric diseases. This member of the synapsin family plays a role in regulation of axonogenesis and synaptogenesis. The protein serves as a substrate for several different protein kinases and phosphorylation may function in the regulation of this protein in the nerve terminal. Mutations of the Synapsin I gene may be associated with X linked disorders with primary neuronal degeneration such as Rett syndrome. |

|---|---|
| Application | Detect Synapsin I using this Anti-Synapsin I Antibody validated for use in IC, IH(P), IP & WB. |
| Key Applications |
|
| Application Notes | Western blotting: 1:200 of a previous lot was used for labeled Protein A, 1:1,000 dilution for ECL. Immunocytochemistry: 1:500-1:2,000 dilution of a previous lot was used. Immunoprecipitation: 5 μL of a previous lot quantitatively immunoprecipitated all synapsin in 200 μg of rat brain. Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user. |
| Biological Information | |
|---|---|
| Immunogen | Synapsin I (mixture of Ia & Ib) purified from bovine brain. |
| Concentration | Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration. |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Specificity | Synapsin I (Mr of 80,000 and 77,000). Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of antibody with Synapsin I. Synapsin is located only in brain nerve terminal and is an excellent marker for synapses. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | This gene is a member of the synapsin gene family. Synapsins encode neuronal phosphoproteins which associate with the cytoplasmic surface of synaptic vesicles. Family members are characterized by common protein domains, and they are implicated in synaptogenesis and the modulation of neurotransmitter release, suggesting a potential role in several neuropsychiatric diseases. This member of the synapsin family plays a role in regulation of axonogenesis and synaptogenesis. The protein encoded serves as a substrate for several different protein kinases and phosphorylation may function in the regulation of this protein in the nerve terminal. Mutations in this gene may be associated with X-linked disorders with primary neuronal degeneration such as Rett syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P17600 # Neuronal phosphoprotein that coats synaptic vesicles, binds to the cytoskeleton, and is believed to function in the regulation of neurotransmitter release. The complex formed with NOS1 and CAPON proteins is necessary for specific nitric-oxid functions at a presynaptic level. SIZE: 705 amino acids; 74111 Da SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Interacts with CAPON. Forms a ternary complex with NOS1 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, synapse. PTM: Substrate of at least four different protein kinases. It is probable that phosphorylation plays a role in the regulation of synapsin-1 in the nerve terminal. Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. DISEASE: SwissProt: P17600 # Defects in SYN1 are a cause of X-linked recessive epilepsy associated with variable learning disabilities and behavior disorders [MIM:300491]. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P17600 ## Belongs to the synapsin family. |

|---|---|
| Quality Assurance | Immunohistochemistry(paraffin): Synapsin representative staining pattern/morphology in rat hippocampal neurons. Tissue was pretreated with Citrate pH 6.0, antigen retrieval. A previous lot of this antibody was diluted to 1:1000, using IHC-Select® reagents used with HRP-DAB. Immunoreactivity is seen directly associated with terminal end of neuronal cell body. IHC-Paraffin Staining With Epitope Retrieval: Rat Hippocampus |
