Gene Information

human ... GABBR2(9568)

General description

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. GABA exerts its effects through ionotropic [GABA(A/C)] receptors, to produce fast synaptic inhibition, and metabotropic [GABA(B)] receptors, to produce slow, prolonged inhibitory signals. The GABA(B) receptor consists of a heterodimer of two related 7-transmembrane receptors, GABA(B) receptor 1 and GABA(B) receptor 2. The GABA(B) receptor 1 gene is mapped to chromosome 6p21.3 within the HLA class I region close to the HLA-F gene. Susceptibility loci for multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and schizophrenia have also been mapped in this region. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 4 transcript variants.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the C-terminus of rat GABA-B-R2.

Immunogen

Bovine thyroglobulin-conjugated linear peptide at the C-terminus of rat GABA-B-R2.

Application

Anti-GABA B Receptor R2 Antibody is an antibody against GABA B Receptor R2 for use in IH & WB.

Quality

Evaluated by Immunohistochemistry in Purkinje cells in rat mid-brain region.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:300 dilution of this antibody detected GABA-B-R2 in Purkinje cells in rat mid-brain region.

Target description

Although a band is observed around the calculated molecular weight of 105 kDa, Western Blotting is not a recommened application for this antibody because the band is weak in comparison to other non-specific bands present.

Cortical network hyper-excitability is a common phenotype in mouse models lacking the transcriptional regulator methyl-CPG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). Here, we implicate enhanced GABAB receptor activity stemming from diminished cortical expression of the GABA transporter GAT-1 in the genesis of this

GABAB receptors are heterodimeric G protein-coupled receptors, which control neuronal excitability by mediating prolonged inhibition. The magnitude of GABAB receptor-mediated inhibition essentially depends on the amount of receptors in the plasma membrane. However, the factors regulating cell surface expression of

Multiplexed optical imaging provides holistic visualization on a vast number of molecular targets, which has become increasingly essential for understanding complex biological processes and interactions. Vibrational microscopy has great potential owing to the sharp linewidth of vibrational spectra. In 2017

The G protein-coupled GABAB receptors, constituted from GABAB1 and GABAB2 subunits, are important regulators of neuronal excitability by mediating long-lasting inhibition. One factor that determines receptor availability and thereby the strength of inhibition is regulated protein degradation. GABAB receptors are
