Synaptotagmin (Thr202) Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Synaptotagmin is widely regarded as the primary calcium sensor for synaptic vesicle exocytosis (Fernandez-Chacon et al., 2001; Wang et al., 2003) . Moreover, recent studies indicate that the protein also plays a key role in endocytosis (Poskanzer et al., 2003) . Synaptotagmin can be phosphorylated by multiple protein kinases and this may play a key role in modulation of synaptotagmin’s ability to influence both the exocytotic and endocytotic components of synaptic transmission (Hilfiker et al., 1999; Lee et al., 2004) .

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.

Modification

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 ~62 kDa synaptotagmin protein phosphorylated at Thr 202. Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase.
