Overview
Anti-α1-Syntrophin (SNTA1) Antibody is an antibody targeting Syntrophin alpha 1, Syntrophin-1, 59 kDa dystrophin-associated protein A1 acidic component 1 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IF, IHC, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Syntrophin alpha 1, Syntrophin-1, 59 kDa dystrophin-associated protein A1 acidic component 1 (also reported as Syntrophin alpha 1, Syntrophin-1, 59 kDa dystrophin-associated protein A1 acidic component 1).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Intracellular, PH1 domain.
- Homology note: Mouse, human - identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: Unconjugated (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
α1-Syntrophin is a component of the dystrophin scaffold-protein complex that acts in recruiting proteins through their multiple protein-protein interaction motifs to the cytoplasmic side of plasma membranes. Proteins interacting with α1-syntrophin include voltage-gated sodium channels, neuronal nitric oxide synthase, calmodulin, ankyrin repeat-rich membrane spanning protein, G-proteins and more. The syntrophin family comprises five members: α1-syntrophin, β1-syntrophin, β2-syntrophin, γ1-syntrophin, and γ2-syntrophin1.α1-Syntrophin is a peripheral cytoplasmic membrane protein in skeletal and cardiac muscle cells1.The α1-syntrophin structure contains four conserved domains, two pleckstrin homology domains (PH1 and PH2), a PSD95-disks large-ZO1 (PDZ) domain and a syntrophin unique (SU) COOH-terminal domain2.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.
- Interpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.
- Using orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC: assess subcellular localization and co-localization with markers in cells or sections.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-PZ021.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
