Anti-Synaptopodin/SYNPO Antibody Picoband®, Biotine Conjugate

Anti-Synaptopodin/SYNPO Antibody Picoband®, Biotine Conjugate

• Background: Synaptopodin is also known as SYNPO. The spine apparatus (SA) is a specialized form of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that is found in a subpopulation of dendritic spines in central neurons. The SA consists of a series of stacked discs that are thought to be connected to each other and to the dendritic system of ER-tubules. The actin binding protein synaptopodin (which has originally been described in podocytes of the kidney) is an essential component of the SA. Mice that lack the gene for synaptopodin do not form a spine apparatus. The SA is believed to play a critical role in learning and memory. In summary, an important function of the spine apparatus is the regulation of plasticity at individual synapses, a process known as metaplasticity. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the SYNPO gene to chromosome 5.
