• Target description: Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (UniProt: Q7L0J3; also known as SV2A) is encoded by the SV2A (also known as KIAA0736, PSEC0174) gene (Gene ID: 9900) in human. SV2A is a multi-pass membrane glycoprotein with seven cytoplasmic domains, twelve transmembrane domains, and six extracellular domains. It plays a role in the control of regulated secretion in neural and endocrine cells, enhancing selectively low-frequency neurotransmission. It is also reported to positively regulate vesicle fusion by maintaining the readily releasable pool of secretory vesicles. SV2A is widely distributed in the nervous system and in endocrine tissue. It is enriched in chromaffin granules and associates with both insulin granules and synaptic-like microvesicles in insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas. SV2A interact with synaptotagmin-1 in a calcium-dependent manner and this interaction is highly controlled. Phosphorylation of SV2A by casein kinase I in the amino terminal region increases its affinity for synaptotagmin-1. Although its N-terminal has two phosphorylation clusters, only threonine 84 phosphorylation appears to be essential for binding and forms hydrogen bonds with three conserved lysine residues of the C2B domain of synpatotagmin-1. The correct folding of SV2A appears to be important for its function and proper location since many substitution mutations are reported to produce diffuse or aggregated cytoplasmic locations of SV2A. SV2A-knockout mice are reported to develop severe seizures within one postnatal week and death ensues within 2 to 3 weeks. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
