Anti-Synaptophysin Syp Antibody (Monoclonal, SVP-38), Carrier-free

Synaptophysin (SYP) is an integral membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles in brain and endocrine cells. Ozcelik et al. (1990) concluded that the gene has 7 exons distributed over about 20 kb. SYP mapped the SYP locus to Xp11.23-p11.22. Regionalization of the gene on the X chromosome was also done with hamster/human hybrid cells in which various portions of the human X chromosome were present.

Characteristic of a type of small (30-80 nm) neurosecretory vesicles, including presynaptic vesicles, but also vesicles of various neuroendocrine cells of both neuronal and epithelial phenotype.

Possibly involved in structural functions as organizing other membrane components or in targeting the vesicles to the plasma membrane. Involved in the regulation of short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity (By similarity). .
