Synaptosomal associated protein of 25kDa (SNAP25) is a nerve terminal protein with two isoforms, SNAP 25a and SNAP 25b. It is widely distributed in the frontal cortex and cerebellum of adult Down syndrome brain and plays an important role in Ca2+ dependent secretory vesicle-plasma membrane fusion in neuroendocrine cells. It is a component of a neuronal SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor) protein, essential for neurotransmitter release from presynaptic terminals. It binds directly to the vesicle-associated membrane protein such as syntaxin and synaptobrevin to mediate synaptobrevin binding for exocytosis.

Application: Anti-SNAP25 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). 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.
