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 28-43 of rat GABA(A) receptor α1 subunit.
Application
Anti-GABAA Receptor (α1 subunit) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for detection of GABA-A α1 subunit by immunohistochemistry using rat brain sections and by immunoblotting at a working dilution of 1:400-1:1000 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. α1 is a subtype of GABAA receptor expressed selectively by serotonergic and GABAergic neurons. Serotonergic neurons express strong α3 immunoreactivity but, do not show any α1 immunoreactivity. On the contrary, GABAergic neurons express both α1 and α3 subunits.
Physical form
Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.05% sodium azide.
Preparation Note
Reconstitute the 0.05 mL vial with 50 μL deionized water. Reconstitute the 0.2 mL vial with 0.2 mL deionized water. After reconstitution, the antibody concentration is ~0.8 mg/mL.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) frequently co-occurs with dissociative disorders and disorders with dissociative symptoms, suggesting a common neurobiological basis. It has been proposed that facilitated information processing under the influence of alcohol, resulting in the formation of dissociated memories, might

Different models of rodent maternal separation (MS) have been used to investigate long-term neurobiological and behavioral changes, associated with early stress. However, few studies have involved the analysis of sex-related differences in central anxiety modulation. This study investigated whether MS

GABAA-receptors in the brain display a striking structural heterogeneity, which is based on a multiplicity of diverse subunits. The allocation of GABAA-receptor subtypes to identified neurons is essential for an analysis of the functional significance of receptor heterogeneity. Among GABA-receptive
