Host | Rabbit |
Clonality | polyclonal |
Calculated MW | 78 KDa |
Gene ID | 281510 |
---|---|
Gene Name | SYN1 |
Other Names | Synapsin-1, Synapsin I, SYN1 |
Target/Specificity | Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser9 conjugated to KLH. |
Dilution | WB~~ 1:1000 IHC~~ 1:500 |
Format | Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho- and dephosphopeptide affinity columns. |
Antibody Specificity | Specific for ~78k synapsin I doublet protein phosphorylated at Ser9. Theantibody also weakly labels the ~55k synapsin II protein which has a similar phosphorylationsite to that of Ser9on synapsin I. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of the antibodywith the phosphopeptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide.Immunolabeling is also completely eliminated by treatment withλphosphatase. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | Phospho-Ser9 Synapsin I Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Shipping | Blue Ice |

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. In addition to its role in plasti city, the expression of synapsin I is a precise indicator of synapse formation (Moore and Bernstein, 1989; Stone et al., 1994). Thus, synapsin I immunocytochemistry provides a valuable tool for the study of synaptogenesis. The role of synapsin in synaptic plasticity and in synaptogensis is regulated by phosphor ylation (Jovanovic et al., 2001; Kao et al., 2002). Serine 9 is the site on synapsin I that is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase and by calcium calmodulin kinase I (Czernik et al., 1987). Phosphorylation of this site is thought to regulate synaptic vesicle function and neurite outgrowth (Kao et al., 2002).
