Reconstitute in 100 µL of sterile water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
The peptide is homologous in many species including human, rat, mouse, zebra fish, bovine, xenopus and chicken.
Specificity of this antibody: VAMP A and B.
VAPA/VAPB may play a role in vesicle trafficking. Present in the plasma membrane and in intracellular vesicles. Interacts with VAMP1 and VAMP2. Subunit: Homodimer, and heterodimer with VAPA. Subcellular Location: Cell membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Intracytoplasmic membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitous. Isoform 1 predominates. Disease: Defects in VAPB are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8 (ALS8). ALS8 is a familial form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper and lower motor neurons and resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. Death usually occurs within 2 to 5 years. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors. The disease is inherited in 5-10% of cases leading to familial forms. Defects in VAPB are a cause of proximal adult autosomal dominant spinal muscular atrophy; also called late-onset spinal muscular atrophy Finkel type. Spinal muscular atrophies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by degeneration of lower motor neurons, leading to progressive paralysis muscular atrophy. This form is a late- adult-onset form of the disease (after age 20 years). The patients show a benign course, most of them remaining ambulatory 10 to 40 years after clinical onset.
