This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-83995. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
SNAPs (soluble NSF attachment proteins), acting in concert with SNAREs (SNAP receptors) and the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) are required for the fusion of transport vesicles to their target membranes in synaptic transmission, intra-Golgi transport, endosome-to-endosome fusion and transcytotic vesicles-to-plasma membrane transport. Vesicle-to-target membrane docking (initial contact) occurs when the vesicle SNARE binds to its cognate target membrane SNARE. a-SNAP (or b-SNAP in brain) then binds to this docking complex and mediates the binding of NSF and thus the formation of a 20S fusion particle. It is thought that, once NSF is bound, ATP hydrolysis by NSF initiates the fusion process.
