Munc-18 (phospho Ser515) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Munc-18 (mammalian homologue of Unc-18) is a protein that is thought to be involved in regulating exocytosis due, at least in part, to it ability to bind syntaxin (Ciufo et al., 2005) . Munc18-1 is a neuron-specific member of the Sec1/Munc18 protein family that binds to syntaxin1A and is thought to stabilize the complex (Liu et al., 2004) . The function of Munc-18 is thought to be regulated by PKC phosphorylation of Ser515 on the Munc-18 protein (Sassa et al., 1996) .

Applications Notes

The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with bovine, canine, chicken, human, mouse, non-human primates and Xenopus based on the fact that these species have 100% homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.
