REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

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.
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.
