General description
GABAA and GABAB receptors differ with regard to their ionic characteristics and pharmacological properties. The GABAA receptor is an ionotropic receptor that forms the GABA gated chloride channel and consists of several heterogeneous subunits with membrane recognition sites for benzodiazapenes.
Immunogen
peptide corresponding to amino acids 20-37 of rat GABA(A) α6. This sequence is identical in mouse and shares 17 of 19 residues in human.
Application
Anti-GABAA Receptor (α 6 subunit) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for the immunofluorescent detection of GABAA receptor α 6 in cerebella of mice. It is suitable for immunoblotting at a working dilution of 1:200 using rat brain membranes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
The inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA signals through two distinct types of pre- and postsynaptic receptors, GABAA and GABAB. Both GABA receptors can regulate depression of synaptic transmission and be involved in the inhibition controlling neuronal excitability. Mutations in the gene may be responsible for the pathogenesis of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). Polymorphism in this gene is also related to attenuation in hormonal and blood pressure responses under certain psychological stress.
Target description
Anti-GABA(A) Receptor (α6 subunit) specifically recognizes the GABA(A) receptor α6 subunit protein and may be used for the detection of the GABA(A) receptor α6 subunit protein. The inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA (α-aminobutyricacid
Physical form
Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.05% sodium azide.

Cobblestone lissencephaly is a severe neuronal migration disorder associated with congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) such as Walker-Warburg syndrome, muscle-eye-brain disease, and Fukuyama-type CMD. In these severe forms of dystroglycanopathy, the muscular dystrophy and other tissue pathology is caused by mutations
