General description
Synaptophysin is a synaptic vesicle glycoprotein with four transmembrane domains weighing 38 kDa. It is present in neuroendocrine cells and in virtually all neurons in the brain and spinal cord that participate in synaptic transmission. The localization and ubiquitous expression of this protein in neuronal tissue makes it an excellent marker for neurons and neuroendocrine tumors. The gene for this protein is located on the X chromosome (Xp11.23-p11.22). The exact function of the protein is unknown: it interacts with the essential synaptic vesicle protein synaptobrevin, but when the synaptophysin gene is experimentally inactivated in animals, they still develop and function normally.
Specificity
This antibody reacts with presynaptic vesicles of cerebral and spinal neurons, of neuromuscular endplates and with the retina of man, cow, rat and mouse. It also reacts with vesicles of adrenal medulla and islet cells.
