Monoclonal Anti-STX1A antibody produced in mouse

Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters that are released during calcium-regulated exocytosis. The specificity of neurotransmitter release requires the localization of both synaptic vesicles and calcium channels to the presynaptic active zone. Syntaxins function in this vesicle fusion process. Syntaxins also serve as a substrate for botulinum neurotoxin type C, a metalloprotease that blocks exocytosis and has high affinity for a molecular complex that includes the alpha-latrotoxin receptor (MIM 600565) which produces explosive exocytosis (Zhang et al., 1995 [PubMed 7622072]).[supplied by OMIM

Syntaxin 1A (STX1A) which codes for constituent of the synaptic apparatus, plays a vital role in exocytosis of neurotransmitters from neuronal cells. Hemizygous deletions of STX1A is associated with neurological symptoms of Williams syndrome (WS). STX1A regulates expression of serotonin transporter (5-HTT) involved in maintaining serotonin level; therefore, decreased expression of the protein leads to irregularity in serotonergic neurotransmission, which is associated with autism. STX1A is expressed at low level in adenocarcinoma cells, but at high level in squamous cell lung carcinomas. It might have use in determining the prognosis of lung cancer survival and initial-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
