Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human SLC6A1. AA range:381-430
Specificity
GABA T-1 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of GABA T-1 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
The SLC6A1 gene encodes a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter, which removes GABA from the synaptic cleft (Hirunsatit et al., 2009 [PubMed 19077666]).[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2009],
Function
domain:The PDZ domain-binding motif is involved in the interaction with MPP5.,function:Terminates the action of GABA by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals.,miscellaneous:This protein is the target of psychomotor stimulants such as amphetamines or cocaine.,similarity:Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) family.,subcellular location:Localized at the plasma membrane and in a subset of intracellular vesicles. Localized at the presynaptic terminals of interneurons.,subunit:Interacts with MPP5.,
