Anti-Synaptogyrin-2 SYNGR2 Antibody

Synaptogyrins comprise a family of tyrosine-phosphorylated membrane proteins with two neuronal (SYNGR1 and SYNGR3) and one ubiquitous (SYNGR2) members. SYNGR1 and -3 are synaptic vesicle proteins, residing in some cases on the same synaptic vesicle, and are thought to be involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release. SYNGR2, by contrast, is absent from synaptic vesicles. The role and localization of a fourth synaptogyrin, SYNGR4, is unclear. SYNGR3 is predominantly expressed in brain and placenta. The exact function of SYNGR2 is unknown, but studies suggest that it may play a role in regulating membrane traffic in non-neuronal cells.

SYNGR2 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the amino terminus of human SYNGR2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 30 - 80 of SYNGR2.

May play a role in regulated exocytosis. In neuronal cells, modulates the localization of synaptophysin/SYP into synaptic-like microvesicles and may therefore play a role in the formation and/or the maturation of this vesicles. May also play a role in GLUT4 storage and transport to the plasma membrane.

SYNGR2 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
