Anti-Bassoon Bsn Antibody (Monoclonal, SAP7F407)

Is thought to be involved in the organization of the cytomatrix at the nerve terminals active zone (CAZ) which regulates neurotransmitter release. Seems to act through binding to ERC2/CAST1. Essential in regulated neurotransmitter release from a subset of brain glutamatergic synapses. Involved in the formation of the retinal photoreceptor ribbon synapses (By similarity) . .

Cytoplasm. Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Localized to the active zone of presynaptic density. In retina, is localized in the outer plexiform layer at ribbon synapses formed by rods and cones but was absent from basal synaptic contacts formed by cones. In the retinal inner plexiform layer localized to conventional inhibitory GABAergic synapses, made by amacrine cells, but absent from the bipolar cell ribbon synapses.
