Gene Information

human ... VAMP2(6844)

Specificity

Recognizes VAMP-2 (Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein 2, Synaptobrevin 2). The epitope does not share homology with any other known proteins.

SPECIES REACTIVITIES: It is expected that the antibody will also react with human, Macaca multata and bovine due to sequence homology (25/26). Other species have not been tested.

Immunogen

GST fusion protein corresponding to a cytoplasmic, N-terminal part of rat or mouse VAMP-2 (Accession numbers Q64357, NP 036795).

Application

Anti-VAMP-2 Antibody detects level of VAMP-2 & has been published & validated for use in WB.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Synapse & Synaptic Biology
Western blot: 1:1,000 using ECL on rat brain membranes.

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, 5% sucrose as a stabilizer and 0.025% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min)

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note

Control
CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 50 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of PBS. For positive control, in Western blot using 20 ng of protein per Minigel lane. For negative control, preincubate 3 μg of fusion protein with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
