Description
Recombinant Human Septin-8 Fragment (aa 2-408) is a high-quality protein preparation designed for studying the specific functions of the septin-type GTPase domain. This fragment encompasses the complete functional domain (aa 41-307) of Septin-8, a filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase involved in critical cellular processes including platelet secretion and synaptic vesicle dynamics.
Septin-8 is a filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase that plays important roles in platelet secretion and appears to participate in SNARE complex formation in synaptic vesicles. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, synapses, axons, and synaptic vesicle membranes. In platelets, it's found in areas surrounding alpha-granules, while in neurons it localizes to axons in immature cells and synapses in mature neurons. Additionally, isoform 4 of Septin-8 stabilizes BACE1 protein levels and promotes its sorting to recycling or endosomal compartments, modulating beta-amyloidogenic processing of APP, suggesting potential relevance to Alzheimer's disease pathways.
