Background：The synaptotagmins are integral membrane proteins of synaptic vesicles thought to serve as Ca(2+) sensors in the process of vesicular trafficking and exocytosis(PMID: 8058779). SYT1(synaptotagmin I) was firstly identified as a 65-kDa protein with a wide distribution in neuronal and neurosecretory tissue(PMID: 7298720). Calcium binding to SYT1 participates in triggering neurotransmitter release at the synapse(PMID: 11242035). In addition to regulating exocytosis, SYT1 has also been implicated in endocytosis and neurite outgrowth(PMID: 15492212; 11078930; 10336114). This antibody recognizes endogenous SYT1, which has an experimentally determined molecular mass of 65-68 kDa. An additional band of 47 kDa could also be detected, which is corresponding to the calculated molecular weight of SYT1.
