AHP1234 recognises Munc-18 phosphorylated at serine 515, a 67 kDa member of the STXBP/UNC-18/SEC1 family. It is neural specific, expressed in the brain, spinal cord and at very high levels in axons. Munc-18 is crucial to calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release, facilitating synaptic vesicle docking and fusion. It inhibits the formation of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex by binding syntaxin 1 preventing the other components (synaptobrevin and synaptosomal associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25)) from binding. The function of Munc-18 is regulated by the phosphorylation of serine 515 by protein kinase C.
Munc-18 is also involved in the onset of female puberty through its regulation of glutamate release.

For the detection of phosphoproteins, serine phosphatase inhibitors such as 10mM Sodium Fluoride should be added to the sample buffer. Milk or other casein-based blocking solutions are not recommended as casein is a phosphoprotein and its use can result in high background.
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP1234 detects a band/s of approximately 65kDa in rat cortex cell lysates
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
12 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to rat Munc-18 (pSer515) were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbit with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
