Overview
Anti-SV2A Antibody is an antibody targeting Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A, Synaptic vesicle protein 2A Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IHC, IP, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A, Synaptic vesicle protein 2A (also reported as Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A, Synaptic vesicle protein 2A).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Intracellular, N-terminus..
- Homology note: Rat, 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
SV2A, also known as Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A and Synaptic vesicle protein 2A, is an integral membrane glycoprotein located on synaptic vesicles, which are responsible for storing and releasing neurotransmitters in the brain.1,2SV2A is a member of a protein family that also includes SV2B and SV2C. All three proteins exhibit a similar topology of 12 transmembrane domains, but have different expression patterns in the brain. SV2A is ubiquitously expressed and is found in virtually all types of neurons throughout the brain, while SV2B has a more restricted expression pattern, being present in certain areas of the brain such as the hippocampus and cortex.
Research relevance and current trends
- Mapping receptor/channel localization across neuronal subtypes and subcellular compartments.
- Linking trafficking or surface expression changes to activity-dependent signaling and plasticity.
- Using KO/KD or blocking-peptide concepts to strengthen antibody-based target assignment.
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.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich the target for downstream detection or complex analysis (context-dependent).
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-NR095.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
