General description

Anti-GABA antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the GB-69 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a mouse immunized with purified GABA conjugated to BSA. γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is present in the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates. GABA is formed following enzymatic decarboxylation of L-glutamic acid by glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD).

Immunogen

purified GABA conjugated to BSA

Application

Anti-GABA antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:
  • immunofluorescence
  • immunohistochemistry
  • enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • dot-blot

Biochem/physiol Actions

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter. GABA mediates fast synaptic inhibition in the mature nervous system and plays multiple key roles as sensory circuits undergo functional development. GABA promotes proliferation of immune cells, embryonic stem cells and cortical progenitor cells. In addition, it is involved in protein synthesis and metabolism and plays a major role in the regulation of muscle tone, blood pressure, heart rate and respiration.

Physical form

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