Product Summary for GAT-1/SLC6A1 Antibody

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues from the C-terminal region conjugated to KLH. Accession # P23978

Reactivity Notes

It is anticipated that the antibody will also react with mouse tissue based on the fact that this species has 100% homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~67 kDa GAT-1/SLC6A1 protein. Immunolabeling is blocked by pre-adsorption of antibody with the peptide used to generate the antibody.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Theoretical MW

67 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: GAT-1/SLC6A1

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, causing a hyperpolarization of the membrane through the opening of a Cl negative channel associated with the GABAA receptor (GABAA-R) subtype. GABA plasma membrane transporters (GATs) influence synaptic neurotransmission by high-affinity uptake and release of GABA. To date, four distinct GABA transporters have been identified: GAT-1, GAT-2, GAT-3, and BGT-1. GAT-1, the most abundant of the transporters, is found predominantly in neurons, but also in some specialized glia (Minelli et al., 1995). GAT-1 is thought to play a key role in epileptogenesis (Zhao et al. 2003).
