Beschreibung

General description

Vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (vGluT2), also known as solute carrier family 17 member 6 (SLC17A6), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 11p14.3. The encoded protein belongs to the SLC17 family of transporters. vGluT2 is an integral membrane protein with 12 predicted transmembrane domains. It is localized on synaptic vesicles and is expressed mainly in neurons and endocrine terminals.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide located near the C-terminus of rat VGLUT2 (amino acids 520-538). The sequence is identical in mouse and human VGLUT2 and has no homology to VGLUT1.

Application

Anti-VGLUT2 (HY-19) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• western blot
• immunolabelling.
• immunohistochemistry.

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Vesicular glutamate transporters (vGluT) play a vital role in the transport of glutamate into secretory vesicles. They are also used as a specific markers to recognize glutamatergic neurons. vGluT2 is considered to be a potent target for reducing glutamatergic neurotransmission. Thus, vGluT2 could be useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in which chronic excessive glutamate signaling has been involved. It is also used for treating epilepsy and pain.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
