Scientific Data Images for GABA-A R alpha 1 C-Terminus Antibody

Detection of GABAAR a1 C-Terminus antibody by Western Blot

Detection of GABAAR alpha1 C-Terminus by Western Blot

Western blot of forebrain lysates from wildtype and alpha1 knockout animals, using approximately 5 - 7 μg of tissue per lane. Blots were incubated overnight at 2 - 8° C with anti-GABAAR, alpha1 subunit, C-Terminus diluted 1:1000. The antibody labelled the ~51kDa alpha1 subunit of the GABAA R (Control). The labeling was absent from a lysate prepared from alpha1 knockout animals.

Background: GABA-A R alpha 1

GABAA ( gamma-aminobutyric acid-type A) receptors are members of the cysteine-loop family of neurotransmitter-gated ion channels. GABA binding to A-type receptors induces anion-selective ion channel opening. These receptors are the principal fast inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the CNS. GABAA receptors are heteropentamer combinations of seven subunit types; alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, theta, and π. Three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, have at least three separate gene products in mammals, and typical GABAA receptors have some combination of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. The rat alpha1 isoform is a 50 - 52 kDa, 428 amino acid (aa), 4 transmembrane protein with two terminal extracellular regions. The ligand-binding region is in the N-terminus (aa 15 - 222). As with many receptors, phosphorylation is used as a regulatory mechanism. CaM kinase II is known to phosphorylate the alpha1 subunit and regulate benzodiazepine binding. alpha1 subunits are particularly abundant in the cerebellum and may contribute to GABA receptor distribution. In the hippocampus and amygdala, the alpha1 subunit may contribute to amnesia.
