SYN1 Antibody

Synapsin (Ser9) polyclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acids residues surrounding the phosphorylated Ser9 of Rat Synapsin I.

Immunolabeling of the 78k Synapsin I doublet in a Western blot of rat brain homogenate is blocked by the phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide. The antibody also weakly labels Synapsin II (55k) which has a similar phosphorylation site to that of Ser9 on Synapsin I. Applications include Dot Blots (DB) and Western Blots (WB) . Suitability for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has not yet been determined. Human, mouse, rat and Xenopus have 100% amino acid sequence identity with the antigen used to raise the antibody. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for DB and WB.
