Gene Information

human ... GABRA3(2556)

General description

GABRA3 codes for the GABAA receptor α3 subunit. Genetic varaiations in GABRA3 have been linked to behavioural despair, bipolar affective disorders and thyrotoxic hypokalaemic periodic paralysis.
Rabbit Anti-GABRA3 antibody recognizes bovine, human, mouse, rat, and canine GABRA3.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human GABRA3

Application

Rabbit Anti-GABRA3 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 2.5 μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: AEVVYSWTLGKNKSVEVAQDGSRLNQYDLLGHVVGTEIIRSSTGEYVVMT

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Genetic predisposition has been suggested to play role in the pathogenesis of thyrotoxic hypokalaemic periodic paralysis (THPP). In this study, we assessed the differences of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) allelic frequency between THPP patients and well-characterized controls in order to find
