3, 4, 6. Anti-PACSIN1 Antibody, preincubated with PACSIN1 Blocking Peptide (#BLP-IP023).
- Expression of PACSIN1 in rat hippocampus.Immunohistochemical staining of perfusion-fixed frozen rat brain sections with Anti-PACSIN1 Antibody (#AIP-023), (1:200), followed by goat anti-rabbit-AlexaFluor-488. A. Staining in the rat hippocampal CA1 region, showed PACSIN1 immunoreactivity (green) in some neurons (arrows) in the pyramidal layer (P). B. Pre-incubation of the antibody with PACSIN1 Blocking Peptide (BLP-IP023), suppressed staining. Cell nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue).

The protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons (PACSIN), also known as syndapin, is an F-BAR (elongated BAR) and SH3 (src homology-3) domain-containing protein that is capable of remodeling the plasma membrane and mediating protein-protein interactions.
Three different PACSIN variants are identified, which are differentially expressed: PACSIN I is the neuronal‐specific isoform, PACSIN II is ubiquitously expressed and PACSIN III is expressed mainly in skeletal muscles and heart1.
PACSINs interact with the large GTPase dynamin and several other proteins implicated in vesicle trafficking, PACSIN-dynamin complexes play an important role in vesicle fission at different donor membranes, including the plasma membrane (endocytosis) and Golgi membranes. In addition, PACSINs are implicated in later steps of vesicle cycling in neuronal and non-neuronal cells. PACSINs also engage in additional interactions with molecules involved in several signal transduction pathways, producing crosstalk at the interface between membrane trafficking and the cytoskeleton. Given the distinct expression patterns of the different PACSINs and their splice forms, these proteins could have isoform-specific functions2.
