SAP97 Antibodies

Synapse-Associated Protein 97 (SAP97/human homologue of Drosophila discs-large tumor supressor or HDLG) is one of a family of plasma membrane-associated proteins found in synaptic junctions. This is a novel, presynaptic membrane protein homologous to SAP90 and the Drosophila discs-large tumor supressor protein. SAP97 has three ∽90 amino acid repeats called PDZ domains, a single interior SH3 domain, and a COOH-terminal guanylate kinase homology (GuK) domain that is enzymatically inactive. It is hypothesized that PDZ-domain interactions play a role in receptor and channel clustering which contributes to neuronal plasticity. SAP97 is believed to participate in the ...
