Other Names | Amyloid beta A4 precursor protein-binding family A member 1, Adapter protein X11alpha, Neuron-specific X11 protein, Neuronal Munc18-1-interacting protein 1, Mint-1, APBA1, MINT1, X11 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP8593c was selected from the Center region of human APBA1. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | APBA1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | MINT1, X11 |
Function | Putative function in synaptic vesicle exocytosis by binding to Munc18-1, an essential component of the synaptic vesicle exocytotic machinery. May modulate processing of the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) and hence formation of APP-beta. Component of the LIN-10- LIN-2-LIN-7 complex, which associates with the motor protein KIF17 to transport vesicles containing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit NR2B along microtubules (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Nucleus. Note=Only about 5% of the protein is located in the nucleus |
Tissue Location | Brain and spinal cord. Isoform 2 is expressed in testis and brain, but not detected in lung, liver or spleen |

Background
APBA1 is a member of the X11 protein family. It is a neuronal adapter protein that interacts with the Alzheimer's disease amyloid precursor protein (APP). It stabilizes APP and inhibits production of proteolytic APP fragments including the A beta peptide that is deposited in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. This protein is believed to be involved in signal transduction processes. It is also regarded as a putative vesicular trafficking protein in the brain that can form a complex with the potential to couple synaptic vesicle exocytosis to neuronal cell adhesion.
