Synaptophysin / FITC / REA1143

Product Details
Description Clone REA1143 recognizes the rat and mouse Synaptophysin, an integral membrane glycoprotein also known as major synaptic vesicle protein p38. | Synaptophysin plays a role in the regulation of short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity and is involved in structural functions. It is detected in neuroendocrine cells and in neurons, which are involved in in synaptic transmission. Furthermore Synaptophysin is used as a tumor marker for different tumors which emerge from neural and neuroendocrine tissues. | Additional information: Clone REA1143 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors.

About Synaptophysin
This gene encodes an integral membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles in brain and endocrine cells. The protein also binds cholesterol and is thought to direct targeting of vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (synaptobrevin) to intracellular compartments. Mutations in this gene are associated with an X-linked form of cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
