PSD95 (postsynaptic density protein 95 kDa, also called SAP 90: synapse associated protein of 90 kDa and DLG 4) is a component of postsynaptic densities in central synapses. It contains three PDZ domains. The first and second PDZ domain localizes NMDA receptors and K+ channels to synapses, the third binds to neuroligins which are neuronal cell adhesion molecules that interact with β-neurexins and form intercellular junctions. Thus different PDZ domains of PSD 95 might be specialized for distinct functions.
Unlabeled variants and several modifications of sdAbs like biotin, fluorophore or DBCO conjugation are available.
In FluoTag®-X2 two fluorophore molecules are site-specifically coupled to each FluoTag molecule. Therefore, the reagent simultaneously targets two fluorophores to the protein of interest, which ensures up to two-fold („2X“)-brighter signals. Owing to the small size of the FluoTags, the distance between the target epitope and each fluorophore is ~ 3 nm.
In comparison to detection systems using conventional antibodies, FluoTag-X can thus improve the localization accuracy by 10-15 nm. Both features - superior brightness and precise fluorophore placement - render the FluoTag-X products excellent tools for all microscopy techniques.
