Hintergrund
The antibody reacts specifically with synaptopodin, a prolin-rich actin-binding protein with 2 binding sites for actin. Synaptopodin belongs to actin-binding proteins, it has first been localized in podocytes and a subset of telencephalic postsynaptic densities. In human tissue synaptopodin has a molecular weight of 73.7 kD and pI of 9.38 (calculated from sequence data), in mouse the corresponding data are 74 kD, pI 9.27. In SDS-PAGE the antigen appears as 100 kD polypeptide in brain and 110 kD polypeptide in kidney (attributed to post-translational modifications). In Western blot analysis the antibody also reacts with a 44 kD degradation fragment of synaptopodin. 1. The antibody recognizes differentiated podocytes (glomerular visceral epithelial cells) in vivo and in vitro weaker additional reaction with arterial endothelial cells), co-localization with alpha-actinin. 2. Reacts with a subset of exclusively telencephalic synapses. Differentiation-dependent expression during postnatal maturation of murine brain. Differentiation-depen dent expression in cultured hippocampal neurons.
