Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-NPTX2 antibody [EPR24020-38] (AB277523)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human pancreas tissue labeling NPTX2 with ab277523 at 1/2000 (0.229 ug/ml) followed by a ready to use LeicaDS9800 (Bond® Polymer Refine Detection). Positive staining on islet of human pancreas. The section was incubated with ab277523 for 30 mins at room temperature. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Counterstained with Hematoxylin.
Secondary antibody only control : Secondary antibody is a ready to use LeicaDS9800 (Bond® Polymer Refine Detection).

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-NPTX2 antibody [EPR24020-38] (AB277523)
IHC image of NPTX2 staining in a section of frozen normal human pancreas performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab277523, 0.5 ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody. For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times. *Tissue obtained from the Human Research Tissue Bank, supported by the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre.

Biological function summary
NPTX2 affects synaptic stabilization by participating in the formation and maintenance of synaptic connections. It forms complexes with AMPA receptor subunits promoting synapses that are more active and facilitating synaptic communication. NPTX2's involvement is essential for normal synaptic function reflecting its significance in neural signaling.
Pathways
NPTX2 plays a role in the glutamatergic signaling pathway an important pathway for synaptic transmission involving excitatory neurotransmitters. NPTX2 works alongside other proteins like GluR1 subunit in this pathway mediating synaptic responses. Through its actions in these pathways NPTX2 contributes to long-term potentiation a process related to learning and memory.
