NCBI Description
This gene is expressed in the kidney cortical epithelial cells and is upregulated by hyperglycemia. The encoded protein shares a high level of similarity to the rat homolog, and contains 3 C2 domains and a diacylglycerol-binding C1 domain. Hyperglycemia increases the levels of diacylglycerol, which has been shown to induce apoptosis in cells transfected with this gene and thus contribute to the renal cell complications of hyperglycemia. Studies in other species also indicate a role for this protein in the priming step of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
UNC13B: Plays a role in vesicle maturation during exocytosis as a target of the diacylglycerol second messenger pathway. Is involved in neurotransmitter release by acting in synaptic vesicle priming prior to vesicle fusion and participates in the activity- depending refilling of readily releasable vesicle pool (RRP). Essential for synaptic vesicle maturation in a subset of excitatory/glutamatergic but not inhibitory/GABA-mediated synapses. Belongs to the unc-13 family.
Protein type: Lipid-binding
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 9p13.3
Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; cytoplasm; presynaptic active zone; plasma membrane; terminal button; cell junction; cytosol; neuromuscular junction
Molecular Function: diacylglycerol binding; protein binding; signal transducer activity; metal ion binding; receptor activity
Biological Process: synaptic transmission, glutamatergic; synaptic transmission; glutamate secretion; apoptosis; neurotransmitter secretion; regulation of short-term neuronal synaptic plasticity; excretion; signal transduction; synaptic vesicle priming; neuromuscular junction development; synaptic vesicle docking during exocytosis
Product Notes
The Munc13-2 unc13b (Catalog #
AAA8308561) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Munc13-2 Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Munc13-2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:500-1:2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Munc13-2 unc13b for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"Munc13-2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
