Signal transmission between neurons is regulated by the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse. This process, which is controlled by a
complex pathway of membrane trafficking in the presynaptic nerve terminal, leads to membrane fusion and neurotransmitter secretion. Sec8 is
a hydrophilic protein of 975 amino acids that is highly expressed in brain and kidney. It is homologus with the yeast secretory protein, Sec8p.
In yeast, Sec8 is essential for the Golgi-to-plasma membrane traffic of proteins during constitutive secretion. In rat brain, Sec8 colocalizes
with Rab3 and Syntaxin-1a, two important proteins that regulate the fusion of the synaptic vesicle to the plasma membrane. The primary
structure of Sec8, a coiled-coil domain (residues 34-99), is commonly found in other proteins important in secretory pathways.

注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
