Invitrogen™ VAMP2 Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ PA1766

Catalog No. PA1766

Description

PA1-766 detects vesicle associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP-2) from rat and mouse tissues. PA1-766 has been successfully used in Western blot, immunofluorescence, and immunoprecipitation procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects a 19 kDa protein representing VAMP-2 from rat brain whole protein extract. The PA1-766 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues M(1) S A T A A T V P P A A P A G E G G(18) C of rat VAMP-2. This immunizing peptide (Cat. # PEP-101) is available for use in neutralization and control experiments.

The vesicle associated membrane proteins (VAMP) or synaptobrevins are calcium binding proteins specific to eukaryotes. VAMPs, along with synaptosomal associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) and syntaxin, form the core complex of soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins that interact with the soluble proteins N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) and alpha-SNAP. These membrane associated proteins play a key role in the regulation of vesicle membrane fusion with the plasma membrane. The Clostridium tetani neurotoxin is a metalloprotease with specificity for VAMP. In Alzheimer's disease, VAMP levels of all isoforms appear to be significantly lowered. It is suggested that VAMP-2 is a resident protein of the insulin-sensitive glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) compartment and that it is required for GLUT4 vesicle incorporation into the cell surface in response to insulin.
