Description
BSN Antibody (PACO20962)
The BSN Antibody (PAC020962) is a polyclonal antibody designed for research involving BSN, a cell surface molecule implicated in immune regulation and inhibiting immune responses. This antibody, raised in rabbits, is highly reactive with human samples and validated for use in Western blot applications. It specifically binds to the BSN protein, allowing for detection and analysis in various cell types, making it ideal for studies in immunology and cancer research.BSN, also known as an immune inhibitory receptor, plays a crucial role in immune homeostasis by regulating inflammation and inhibiting allergic reactions.
Its importance in immune response modulation makes it a valuable target for research on diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Understanding the function of BSN is essential for developing therapies that can harness or modulate immune function in these contexts.Overall, the BSN Antibody (PAC020962) is a valuable tool for researchers interested in studying immune regulation and its implications in various disease states.

| Background: | Neurotransmitters are released from a specific site in the axon terminal called the active zone, which is composed of synaptic vesicles and a meshwork of cytoskeleton underlying the plasma membrane. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be a scaffolding protein involved in organizing the presynaptic cytoskeleton. The gene is expressed primarily in neurons in the brain. A similar gene product in rodents is concentrated in the active zone of axon terminals and tightly associated with cytoskeletal structures, and is essential for regulating neurotransmitter release from a subset of synapses. |

| UniProt Protein Function: | BSN: involved in the organization of the cytomatrix at the nerve terminals active zone (CAZ) which regulates neurotransmitter release. Essential in regulated neurotransmitter release from a subset of brain glutamatergic synapses. Involved in the formation of the retinal photoreceptor ribbon synapses. Interacts with CAST1, RIMS1 and UNC13A. Part of a complex consisting of ERC2, RIMS1 and BSN. Localized to the active zone of presynaptic density. Mice lacking functional BSN showed a reduced excitability attributed to inactivation of a fraction of brain glutamatergic synapses. At these synapses, vesicles are clustered and docked in normal numbers, but are unable to fuse. In retina, mutants lacking functional BSN showed normal retinal anatomy, but synapses lacked anchoring of the photoreceptor ribbon to the presynaptic active zone resulting in impaired photoreceptor synaptic transmission. Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been reported. |
