SNAP-25 is a presynaptic plasma membrane protein which is essential for Ca2+-regulated exocytosis of neurotransmitters.
SNAP-25 has been shown to bind to and negatively modulate Ca2+ channels, increasing the speed of neurotransmitter release.
SNAP-25 is expressed by neurons and neuroendocrine cells as two predominant isoforms; SNAP-25a and SNAP-25b.
SNAP-25a is expressed early in development, whereas SNAP-25b expression is linked to synaptogenesis.
AHP1123 is expected to recognize both isoforms.
SNAP-25 may be a possible therapeutic treatment for sufferers of hyperactivity disorders, while SNAP-25 based peptides may be a possible treatment for involuntary muscle spasms.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
