Rabbit anti-Human SYNJ1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O43426

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SYNJ1

Target Full Name

Synaptojanin-1

Target Function

Phosphatase that acts on various phosphoinositides, including phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate. Has a role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Hydrolyzes PIP2 bound to actin regulatory proteins resulting in the rearrangement of actin filaments downstream of tyrosine kinase and ASH/GRB2.

Target Involvement

Parkinson disease 20, early-onset (PARK20); Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 53 (EIEE53)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, perinuclear region.

Target Protein Families

Synaptojanin family; Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphatase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Concentrated at clathrin-coated endocytic intermediates in nerve terminals. Isoform 1 is more enriched than isoform 2 in developing brain as well as non-neuronal cells. Isoform 2 is very abundant in nerve terminals.

Target Background

This gene encodes a phosphoinositide phosphatase that regulates levels of membrane phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate. As such, expression of this enzyme may affect synaptic transmission and membrane trafficking. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
