General description

Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (UniProt P60880; also known as SNAP-25, SUP, Super protein, Synaptosomal-associated 25 kDa protein) is encoded by the SNAP25 (also known as SNAP) gene (Gene ID 6616) in human. SNAP-25 belongs to the superfamily of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (SNAP) receptor (SNARE) proteins involved in mediating vesicle fusion events. Target or t-SNAREs located in the membranes of target compartments form stable subcomplexes and engage vesicle or v-SNAREs in the membranes of transport vesicles to facilitate the fusion. SNAP-25 is a t-SNARE protein of the trans-SNARE complex that executes fusion between the synaptic vesicle and plasma membrane. SANP-25 does not have a transmembrane domain and is anchored to the cytosolic face of membranes via palmitoyl side chains covalently linked to cysteine residues.

Immunogen

Human brain proteins immunoprecipitated with EP10 (Cat. No. MAB332).

Epitope: N-terminal half

Linkage

Replaces: MAB331

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to lot specific datasheet.

Physical form

Protein G Purified

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG1κ antibody in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl without preservatives.

Format: Purified

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in human brain tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 1.0 µg/mL of this antibody detected SNAP-25 in 10 µg of human brain tissue lysate.

Specificity

Clone SP41 recognizes both SNAP-25 isoforms A & B. Clone SP41 is reactive toward endogenous or exogenously expressed SNAP-25 in COS cells, but not SNAP-25 expressed in E. coli, indicative of a posttranslational modification-dependent antigenicity.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
