Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique for the in vitro quantitative measurement of synaptophysin in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene encodes an integral membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles in brain and endocrine cells. The protein also binds cholesterol and is thought to direct targeting of vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (synaptobrevin) to intracellular compartments. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
