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.

The glucocorticoid component of the stress response has been the subject of intense scientific scrutiny because of the wide ranging pathological consequences resulting from excess glucocorticoid exposure, including mood and anxiety disorders, and cognitive impairment. Exposure to stress activates the

The genetic causes of primary antibody deficiencies and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are largely unknown. Here, we report a patient with hypogammaglobulinemia and ASD who carries biallelic mutations in the transcription factor PAX5. A patient-specific Pax5 mutant mouse revealed an

Piccolo, a presynaptic active zone protein, is best known for its role in the regulated assembly and function of vertebrate synapses. Genetic studies suggest a further link to several psychiatric disorders as well as Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia type 3 (PCH3). We

A GABA(A) receptor α6 subunit mutation, R46W, was identified as a susceptibility gene that may contribute to the pathogenesis of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), but the molecular basis for alteration of GABA(A) receptor function is unclear. The R46W mutation is
The loss of GABAergic inhibition is a mechanism that underlies neuropathic pain. Therefore, rescuing the GABAergic inhibitory tone through the activation of GABA A receptors is a strategy to reduce neuropathic pain. This study was designed to elucidate the function
