Product details:
Synaptophysin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SYP gene. Synaptophysin is a glycoprotein that is an integral part of the neuroendocrine secretory granule membrane and has been proposed as a reliable marker of axonal damage in the CNS in inflammatory and/or demyelinating conditions (i.e. multiple sclerosis).

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.
