Target

  • Function
    Possibly involved in structural functions as organizing other membrane components or in targeting the vesicles to the plasma membrane. Involved in the regulation of short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity.
  • Tissue specificity
    Characteristic of a type of small (30-80 nm) neurosecretory vesicles, including presynaptic vesicles, but also vesicles of various neuroendocrine cells of both neuronal and epithelial phenotype.
  • Involvement in disease
    Mental retardation, X-linked, SYP-related
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the synaptophysin/synaptobrevin family.
    Contains 1 MARVEL domain.
  • Domain
    The calcium-binding activity is thought to be localized in the cytoplasmic tail of the protein.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Ubiquitinated; mediated by SIAH1 or SIAH2 and leading to its subsequent proteasomal degradation.
  • Cellular localization
    Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle membrane. Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome.

    ab8049 staining Synaptophysin in mouse hippocampus tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr - frozen sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at 24°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in BSA) for 12 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG polyclonal (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody.

    ab8049 staining MAFA in human colon tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% BSA for 10 minutes at 21°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in citric acid. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in TBS/BSA/azide) for 16 hours at 21°C. A Biotin-conjugated goat anti-mouseIgG polyclonal (1/300) was used as the secondary antibody.

    The pictures show immunohistochemical staining of normal mucosa and neuroendocrine tumour of the small intestine.  The antibody (ab8049) stains positive in a 1:10 dilution in nerve cells of the colon as well as some cells in normal colon mucosa and some neuroendocrine tumors of the digestive tract. Staining protocol: Mouse monoclonal to Synaptophysin (ab8049), diluted 1:10 in PBS plus BSA, 60 min at room temperature,  
    secondary antibody: HRP solution with anti mouse polyclonal antibodies, 30min. DAB staining 10 min; Hematoxylin 30 sec.

    Overlay histogram showing PC12 cells stained with ab8049 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab8049, 1/20 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a decreased signal in PC12 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween used under the same conditions.

hello I wish to purchase ab8049 mouse monoclonal anti-synaptophysin. It says that the recommended conc for IHC-P is 1:10. This is prediluted stock? and what is the exact concentration of this stock? thank you

Thank you for contacting us. This antibody is from ascites and is not a purified antibody. Generally concentrations are only measured for purified antibodies; they are not relevant for antibodies from ascites or whole serum.


I hope this i...
