Species Reactivity Note: The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat, mouse and human tissue. Biological Significance: Synapsin I plays a key role in synaptic plasticity in brain (Feng et al., 2002; Nayak et al., 1996). This effect is due in large part to the ability of the synapsins to regulate the availability of synaptic vesicles for release. In addition to its role in plasticity, the expression of synapsin I is a precise indicator of synapse formation (Moore and Bernstein, 1989; Stone et al., 1994). Thus, synapsin I immunocytochemistry provides a valuable tool for the study of synaptogenesis. The role of synapsin in synaptic plasticity and in synaptogensis is regulated by phosphorylation (Jovanovic et al., 2001; Kao et al., 2002).

uniprot summary :
Function: Neuronal phosphoprotein that coats synaptic vesicles, binds to the cytoskeleton, and is believed to function in the regulation of neurotransmitter release. The complex formed with NOS1 and CAPON proteins is necessary for specific nitric-oxid functions at a presynaptic level . By similarity. Subunit structure: Homodimer. Interacts with CAPON. Forms a ternary complex with NOS1. Isoform Ibinteracts with PRNP . By similarity. Subcellular location: Cell junction synapse. Golgi apparatus . By similarity. Domain: The A region binds phospholipids with a preference for negatively charged species . By similarity. Post-translational modification: Substrate of at least four different protein kinases. Phosphorylation may play a role in the regulation of synapsin-1 in the nerve terminal.Phosphorylation at Ser-9 dissociates synapsins from synaptic vesicles . By similarity. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the synapsin family.
