    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    NSF (D31C7) XP® Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total NSF protein.

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Leu524 of human NSF protein.

    Background

    Several protein-protein interactions are essential to membrane fusion during endocytosis. Membrane fusion requires interaction among SNARE1 proteins associated with both donor and acceptor membranes (1,2). Following membrane fusion, the α-SNAP cytoplasmic adapter protein binds to the SNARE complex. N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF), a hexameric ATPase, then associates with the α-SNAP/SNARE complex to mediate SNARE disassembly during membrane fusion (3,4). The ATPase activity of NSF induces a conformational change in the α-SNAP/SNARE complex that leads to its dissociation from the membrane, membrane fusion and eventual recycling of the SNARE complex for subsequent membrane fusion (3,4).

    Alternate Names

    N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive-fusion-protein; NEM-sensitive-fusion-protein; vesicle-fusing-ATPase; vesicular-fusion protein-NSF
