Application
Western blot of rat cortex lysate showing specific immunolabeling of the ~78k synapsin I phosphorylated at Ser549 (Control). The phosphospecificity of this labeling is shown in the second lane (lambda-phosphatase: lamda-Ptase). The blot is identical to the control except that it was incubated in lamda-Ptase (1200 units for 30 min) before being exposed to the phospho Ser549 synapsin I antibody.

| Product description | Synapsin I plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in brain (Feng et al., 2002; Nayak et al., 1996). This effect is due in large part to the ability of the synapsins to regulate the availability of synaptic vesicles for release. The role of synapsin in synaptic plasticity and in synaptogensis is regulated by phosphorylation (Jovanovic et al., 2001; Kao et al., 2002). Ser 549 along with Ser 62 and Ser 67 are the sites of synapsin I that are phosphorylated by MAP kinase (Jovanovic et al., 1996). Phosphorylation and subsequent dephosphorylation of this site is thought to play a key role in synaptic vesicle trafficking.1) Jovanovic JN, Benfenati, F, Siow YL, Sihra TS, Sanghera JS, Pelech SL, Greengard P,Czernik AJ (1996) Neurotrophins stimulate phosphorylation of Synapsin I by MAP kinase and regulate Synapsin I-actin interactions.

| The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with human, mouse, non-human primate, bovine and canine tissues based on the fact that these species have 100% homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.: |
