Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: visinin-like 1 Antibody (3A9) [NBP2-25167] - Confocal image of adult rat cerebellum stained with NBP2-25167 (green), chicken polyclonal antibody to MAP2 NB300-213 (red) and DNA (blue). NBP2-25167 reveals perikarya and synaptic regions in the neuron rich granular layer (bottom) and synapse rich molecular layer (top). Note that the large prominent Purkinje neurons at the junction of these two layers do not stain with this antibody, in line with the finidngs of others.

Background: VSNL1

Visinin was originally isolated biochemically from chicken retina as a major protein of about 24 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Following cloning and sequencing of visinin, several visinin-like proteins were discovered by homology screening. One of these, visinin-like 1 is a small calcium binding protein which is very abundant in the nervous system and is found only in neurons, though different neurons have different levels of expression. It is particularly concentrated in cerebellar Purkinje cells, and tends to be most abundant in perikarya and dendrites. The protein was discovered independently by several groups and is therefore also sometimes known as hippocalcin-like protein 3, HLP3, HPCAL3, HUVISL1, VLP-1, VILIP and VILIP-1. The protein belongs to the large superfamily of calmodulin and paravalbumin type proteins which function by binding calcium ions. Calcium binding alters the conformation of these proteins and allow them to interact with other binding partners, the properties of which they may alter. Visinin-like 1 has four "EF hand" domains, which are negatively charged helix-turn-helix peptides that are responsible for calcium binding. Visinin-like 1 is 191 amino acids in size and has a molecular weight on SDS-PAGE of ~22kDa. The protein has recently been suggested to be a useful biomarker of Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury.
