Anti-Synapsin I

Synapsin I plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in brain (Feng et al., 2002; Nayak et al., 1996) . This effect is due in large part to the ability of the synapsins to regulate the availability of synaptic vesicles for release. In addition to its role in plasticity, the expression of synapsin I is a precise indicator of synapse formation (Moore and Bernstein, 1989; Stone et al., 1994) . Thus, synapsin I immunocytochemistry provides a valuable tool for the study of synaptogenesis. The role of synapsin in synaptic plasticity and in synaptogensis is regulated by phosphorylation (Jovanovic et al., 2001; Kao et al., 2002) .

The lyophilized antibody can be stored at -20° C and is stable for at least 2 years. The antibody should be reconstituted in 50 uL PBS (PBS: 137 mM NaCl, 7.5 mM Na2HPO4, 2.7 mM KCl, 1.5 mM KH2PO4 pH 7.4) before use. After reconstitution, the antibody should be aliquoted and stored at -20° C.

Specific for the ~78k synapsin I doublet in Western blots of rat brain extracts. Immunolabeling blocked by preadsorption of antibody with the protein used to generate the antibody.
