Specificity
Recognizes Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2). An antibody made to the C-terminal VMAT2 peptide detected a major band at ~55 kDa in postnuclear supernatants of CHO transfected with VMAT2 and not in wild type cells (Peter et al. 1995; Nirenberg et al. 1995). Some additional bands, both higher and lower molecular weight, were also detected and remain unaffected by the inclusion of protease inhibitors. Higher molecular weight bands may represent glycosylated VMAT2 (Peter et al. 1995; Nirenberg et al. 1995, Liu et al. 1994). VMAT2 has been localized in adrenal chromaffin cells, sympathetic ganglion cells, enterochromaffin-like cells of the stomach and in CNS (Peter et al. 1995; Nirenberg et al. 1995; Nirenberg et al. 1996). May recognize human due to the 92% homology between rat and human VMAT2.
Immunogen
A 13 amino acid C-terminal peptide sequence from rat VMAT2 (Liu et al. 1992). This peptide is predicted to be cytoplasmic.

Recent studies indicate that human pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-based therapies hold great promise in Parkinson's disease (PD). Clinical studies have shown that grafted fetal neural tissue can achieve considerable biochemical and clinical improvements in PD. However, the source of fetal

In mammals, LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons constitute between 15% and 20% of the genome. Although only a few copies have retained the ability to retrotranspose, evidence in brain and differentiating pluripotent cells indicates that L1 retrotransposition occurs and creates mosaics in

Synaptic transmission depends on neurotransmitter pools stored within vesicles that undergo regulated exocytosis. In the brain, the vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT(2)) is responsible for the loading of dopamine (DA) and other monoamines into synaptic vesicles. Prior to storage within vesicles
