• Target description: Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (UniProt: P60880; also known as SNAP-25, Super protein, SUP, Synaptosomal-associated 25 kDa protein) is encoded by the SNAP25 (also known as SNAP) gene (Gene ID: 6616) in human. SNAP-25 is a lipid-anchor membrane protein of the SNARE protein complex that is involved in the exocytotic release of neurotransmitters during synaptic transmission. Its expression has been reported in the neurons of neocortex, hippocampus, piriform cortex, anterior thalamic nuclei, and granule cells of the cerebellum. It is expressed throughout the cytoplasm and is concentrated at the perinuclear region. It plays an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems and associates with proteins involved in vesicle docking and membrane fusion. Its membrane association requires palmitoylation and cysteine 85 appears to be the main palmitoylation site. It is also reported to participate in slow, clathrin-dependent endocytosis at hippocampal synapses, possibly contributing to the coupling between exocytosis and endocytosis. SNAP-25 contains two t-SNARE coiled-coil homology domains that are localized in amino acids 19-81 and 140-202. Mutations in SNAP25 gene are known to cause congenital Myasthenic syndrome that is characterized by failure of neuromuscular transmission, including pre-synaptic, synaptic, and post-synaptic disorders that are not of autoimmune origin. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 30 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
