VGAT antibody cytoplasmic domain - 131 005

VGAT or VIAAT is the GABA and glycine transporter in the membrane of synaptic vesicles
Guinea pig polyclonal purified antibody
Cat. No.: 131 005
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $475.00
Cat. No. 131 005 50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!

Remarks

VGAT aggregates after boiling, making it necessary to run SDS-PAGE only with non-boiled samples.
IHC: Signal intensity can be enhanced by antigen retrieval at pH6 prior to blocking step.

Background
The vesicular GABA transporter VGAT is responsible for uptake and storage of GABA and glycine by synaptic vesicles in the central nervous system. For this reason it is frequently referred to as the vesicular inhibitory aminoacid transporter VIAAT. It is different from the plasma membrane transporters in that it is driven by a proton electrochemical gradient across the vesicle membrane. So far, only one isoform is known. VGAT is currently the best marker for inhibitory nerve terminals.
