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.

Children with brain malformations often exhibit an intractable form of epilepsy. Although alterations in cellular physiology and abnormal histology associated with brain malformations has been studied extensively, synaptic function in malformed brain regions remains poorly understood.

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
