Description

Please note, this antibody is considered to be "Innovators Grade". Innovators Grade antibodies have been validated for limited uses and require additional characterization for most new species/applications. These antibodies are directed against antigens that have limited or no commercial antibodies available for them, or for which there are limited expression data available to us. In an effort to encourage customer feedback, Novus has made these antibodies available through our Innovators Reward program. Under this program, Novus will provide you a 50% refund on the purchased product as well as a 50% discount on a future product of equal value in exchange for your new data.

Applications for GAT-1/SLC6A1 Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

Peptide ELISA

Detection limit 1:4000

Western Blot

1:100 - 1:2000
Application Notes
WB: Preliminary experiments gave bands at approx. 50 kDa band and 37 kDa band in human brain (cerebellum) lysates after 2 ug/ml antibody staining. Please note that currently we cannot find an explanation in the literature for the bands we observe given the calculated size of 67.1 kDa band according to NP_003033.3. Both detected bands were successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide (and BLAST results with the immunizing peptide sequence did not identify any other proteins to explain the additional bands).
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

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).
