Activity summary

Synaptophysin also known as SYP is a glycoprotein approximately 38 kDa in size. It is expressed abundantly in the presynaptic vesicle membranes of neurons and in neuroendocrine cells. Synaptophysin serves as a marker for synaptic vesicles and neuroendocrine tumors. The protein plays a significant role in synaptic vesicle cycling processes engaging in the release and recycling of neurotransmitters.

Biological function summary

Synaptophysin contributes to synaptic transmission and is engaged in the formation and maintenance of the synaptic vesicle pools. It is a part of the complex involved in neuronal communication and might interact with other vesicular proteins to ensure efficient neurotransmitter exchange. Researchers often utilize anti-Synaptophysin antibodies such as Alexa Fluor 647 labeled ones for visualization under confocal microscopy.

Pathways

Synaptophysin operates within pathways involving neurotransmitter release and synaptic vesicle cycle. It connects to proteins like Synaptotagmin and SNAP-25 integral to the facilitation of synaptic transmission and exocytosis. These pathways ensure efficient signal conduction across neurons which is critical for normal nervous system functioning.

Associated diseases and disorders

Synaptophysin shows a strong association with neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers like neuroblastoma. Altered expression levels or dysfunction of Synaptophysin can serve as a diagnostic marker for these conditions. The protein is connected with proteins like Bcl-2 in neurodegenerative diseases affecting cell survival and apoptosis pathways.

    Overlay histogram showing PC12 cells stained with ab52636 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab52636, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit monoclonal IgG (0.5μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a slightly decreased signal in PC12 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) used under the same conditions.Please note that Abcam do not have data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells.
