What is SYNAPTOPHYSIN?
Synaptophysin is a protein found in the presynaptic vesicles of neurons, playing a crucial role in neurotransmitter release. It is often used as a marker for neuroendocrine cells, including neurons and certain neuroendocrine tumors, such as small cell lung cancer, neuroblastomas, and carcinoid tumors.
In diagnostic pathology, synaptophysin is commonly detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining to confirm the neuronal origin of tumors or to help identify neuroendocrine differentiation in malignant tissues. It is especially useful for differentiating between neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine tumors.
Elevated or positive synaptophysin staining in tissues can indicate neuroendocrine features.
What to expect & how to prepare
SYNAPTOPHYSIN is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.
- Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
- Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
- Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
- Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your SYNAPTOPHYSIN result rather than self-diagnosing.
