General description
Syntaxin 17 (Stx17) is an autophagosomal SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) protein. STX17 is a member of the syntaxin family and is located on human chromosome 9q31. It is stored in the cytosol.
Immunogen
Syntaxin-17 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-STX17 antibody has been used:
- in SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) protein reconstitution
- in immunoelectron microscopy
- to investigate its relevance to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) life cycle and, thereby, to reveal the role of autophagosome-lysosome fusion for the turnover of viral particles
Anti-STX17 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for co-immunoprecipitation.
Anti-STX17 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Syntaxin 17 (STX17) is an autophagosomal SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide–sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) that in involved in fusion with the endosome/lysosome. It is mostly localized to the ER and to some extent in the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC). It may function as a receptor at the ER membrane that is involved in the trafficking between the ER and post-ER compartments. It cycles between ER and ERGIC via pathways involving COPII and COPI (coatomer protein I) vesicle. The protein is required for the maintenance of ERGIC and Golgi architecture.
Syntaxin 17 (Stx17) encodes membrane proteins, that participates in synaptic vesicle fusion.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Linkage
Corresponding Antigen APREST79900.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
