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.

    Synaptophysin Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence staining using rabbit Anti-Synaptophysin antibody

    ICC/IF image of ab7837 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab7837, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
