Additional Information

Alternative name: Vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP-2, Synaptobrevin-2, VAMP2, SYB2)

UniProt: P63027

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from human Vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP-2, Synaptobrevin-2, VAMP2, SYB2) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen. The antigen is homologous in many other species including rat, mouse and xenopus.

Format: Lyophilized

Isotype: IgG

Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)/synaptobrevin family. Synaptobrevins/VAMPs, syntaxins, and the 25-kD synaptosomal-associated proteinSNAP25 are the main components of a protein complex involved in the docking and/or fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane. This gene is thought to participate in neurotransmitter release at a step between docking and fusion. The protein forms a stable complex with syntaxin, synaptosomal-associated protein, 25 kD, and synaptotagmin. It also forms a distinct complex with synaptophysin. It is a likely candidate gene for familial infantile myasthenia (FIMG) because of its map location and because it encodes a synaptic vesicle protein of the type that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of FIMG. FUNCTION: Involved in the targeting and/or fusion of transport vesicles to their target membrane. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome. Note: Neuronal synaptic vesicles. Also known as: VAMP-2, Synaptobrevin-2, VAMP2, SYB2.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for VAMP2.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A concentration of 10-50 µg/ml is recommended. The optimal concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: IgG

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
