This antibody does not work in immunolocalization
During meiosis, pairing and synapses of homologous chromosomes are necessary for normal chromosome separation and exchange of genetic material through recombination. The synapse is completed after the coarse phase forms a tripartite protein structure called the synaptic complex (SC). In yeast, HOP1 is essential for SC formation and locates along the chromosome axis in prophase. By analyzing mutants with reduced fertility due to severely reduced synapses in homologous chromosomes, homologues in Arabidopsis (AtASY1), Brassica (BoASY1), and rice (OsPAIR2) have been isolated. Analysis of these genes showed that they play a similar role to HOP1 in SC pairing and formation by localization to axial/lateral elements of SC.
