Gene Information

mouse ... Slc6A13(14412)
rat ... Slc6A13(171163)

Specificity

GABA Transporter-2 (GAT-2), C-terminus. No cross-reactivity to the C-termini of other transmitter transporters detected.

Immunogen

GAT-2, C-terminus (aa 593-602)

Application

Immunohistochemistry: 1:500-1:750 on 4% paraformaldehyde fixed tissue.

It is recommended that the antibody is diluted in PBS containing 10% normal goat serum and 0.5% Triton X-100. AB1572 has been used for light microscopic studies of the rat nervous system.

Western blot: It has been reported that this antibody works for Western blot (Conti, 1999).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) plasma membrane transporters (GATs) influence synaptic neurotransmission by high-affinity uptake and release of GABA. The distribution and cellular localization of GAT-1, GAT-2, and GAT-3 in the rat retina have been evaluated by using affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies directed
