The gene SYNE1 encoding synaptic nuclear envelope protein 1 is mapped to human chromosome 6q25. It belongs to family of nuclear membrane associated proteins, referred as nesprins. SYNE1 is ubiquitously expressed. The protein localizes at the nuclear membrane and contains amino-terminal a-actinin type actin-binding domain, a coiled coil rod and a carboxyl-terminal transmembrane domain. SYNE1 is commonly called as Nesprin-1.

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: SYNE1 (synaptic nuclear envelope protein 1) is responsible for linking nucleus to the actin cytoskeleton. It interacts with the nuclear envelope proteins, emerin and lamin A. Single nucleotide polymorphism in SYNE1 is associated with menstrual migraine. Mutations in SYNE1 are linked with autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia. It is also associated with the pathogenesis of Emery Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
