Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human SNAP25 recombinant protein (Position:M1-L203). (reported region: M1-L203).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 25 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
synaptosome associated protein 25. Synaptosome-associated protein of 25,000 daltons, also known as SNAP-25, is a protein which in humans encodes a 25-kD protein of 206 amino acids. It was first investigated as a neuron-specific gene preferentially expressed in mouse hippocampus. The tSNARE (the target-membrane soluble NSF-attachment protein receptor, where NSF is N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein) synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) is expressed in pancreatic B-cells and its cleavage by botulinum neurotoxin E (BoNT/E) abolishes stimulated secretion of insulin. In the nervous system, two SNAP-25 isoforms (a and b) have been described, which are produced by alternative splicing. It is identified mammalian Snap25a and Snap25b as targets of protein kinase A, a key regulator of neurosecretion that primes slowly releasable pools and readily releasable pools of secretory vesicles. SNAP-25 inhibits P/Q- and L-type voltage-gated calcium channels located presynaptically and interacts with the synaptotagmin C2B domain in Ca2+-independent fashion. In glutamatergic synapses SNAP-25 decreases the Ca2+ responsiveness, while it is naturally absent in GABAergic synapses. Functional note: t-SNARE involved in the molecular regulation of neurotransmitter release. May play an important role in the synaptic function of specific neuronal systems. Associates with proteins involved in vesicle docking and membrane fusion. Regulates plasma membrane recycling through its interaction with CENPF. Modulates the gating characteristics of the delayed rectifier voltage-dependent potassium channel KCNB1 in pancreatic beta cells. Reported localization: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Expression/tissue context: Neurons of the neocortex, hippocampus, piriform cortex, anterior thalamic nuclei, pontine nuclei, and granule cells of the cerebellum.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how SNAP25 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.

- Cell Type Marker: Researchers commonly examine how SNAP25 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative SNAP25 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of SNAP25 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
