Complexin 1 (CPXL1, CPX1, CPX-1, Synaphin-2)

Proteins encoded by the complexin/synaphin gene family are cytosolic proteins that function in synaptic vesicle exocytosis. These proteins bind syntaxin, part of the SNAP receptor. This protein binds to the SNAP receptor complex and disrupts it, allowing transmitter release. \n\nComplexin1 belongs to a family of SNARE complex binding proteins that were suggested to be either facilitators or inhibitors of vesicle exocytosis. Complexin 1 exhibits reduced Ca2+-triggered fast neurotransmitter release at hippocampal glutamatergic synapses, indicating that this protein is a positive regulator of transmitter release. In contrast, it inhibits SNARE-mediated liposome and cell fusions in vitro, which lead to the hypothesis that it acts as fusion clamps of synaptic exocytosis.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 1:1000-1:2000\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
