Synaptophysin (38kD, major Ca-binding membrane protein of synaptic
vesicles) is a sensitive quantitative marker of synaptic density and a
useful histochemical marker for the characterization of neuronal and
neuroendocrine neoplasms. Has been used in the evaluation of functional
bowel disorders, cortical epileptogenesis, schizophrenia, amyotropic
lateral sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. Synaptophysin is also an
excellent marker for pancreatic islet cells and their corresponding
neoplasms.

InnoGenex Catalog No.AM-2460. Synaptophysin, 5F3, Mouse IgG3.
Works on paraffin sections after pretreatment by microwave antigen
retrieval.
