Synapsin I (Ser603) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

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. The role of synapsin in synaptic plasticity and in synaptogenesis regulated by phosphorylation (Jovanovic et al., 2001; Kao et al., 2002) . Serine 603 is the site on synapsin I that is phosphorylated by calcium calmodulin kinase II and by p21-activated kinases (Sakurada et al., 2002; Czernik et al., 1987) . Phosphorylation of this site is thought to regulate synaptic vesicle function (Nayak et al., 1996; Bahler and Greengard, 1987; McGuinness et al., 1989) .

Applications

Purification

Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Concentration

Lot Dependent

Dilution

WB (1:300-5000)

Buffer

10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Phosphorylation

Storage Conditions

Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~78 kDa synapsin I doublet phosphorylated at Ser603 . Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase.
