Anti-synaptophysin like 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the SYPL2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 272 amino acid residues and a mass of 30.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the membrane. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Synaptophysin/synaptobrevin protein family, it is known to be involved in communication between the T-tubular and junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include synaptophysin-like protein 2 and mitsugumin 29. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some synaptophysin like 2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA, Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are common applications for these antibodies.
