Product Specifications

Immunogen

Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser408/409 conjugated to KLH. Accession # P63079

Modification

p Ser409, p Ser408

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~53 kDa GABA-A R beta 3 subunit phosphorylated at Ser408/409. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Theoretical MW

53 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Background: GABA-A R beta 3

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. There are two major classes of GABA receptors: the GABAA and the GABAB subtype of receptors. GABAA-Rs are important therapeutic targets for a range of sedative, anxiolytic, and hypnotic agents and are implicated in several diseases including epilepsy, anxiety, depression, and sub-stance abuse. The GABAA-R is a multimeric subunit complex. To date six alphas, four betas and four gammas, plus alternative splicing variants of some of these subunits, have been identified (Olsen and Tobin, 1990; Whiting et al., 1999; Ogris et al., 2004). Injection in oocytes or mammalian cell lines of cRNA coding for alpha- and beta-subunits results in the expression of functional GABAA-Rs sensitive to GABA. However, coexpression of a gamma-subunit is required for benzodiazepine modulation. Phosphorylation of serine 408 and serine 409 within the beta-3 subunit have been shown to be critical for the functional modulation of beta-3 containing recombinant receptors (Brandon et al., 2000).
