General description
Vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT), also known as solute carrier family 32 member 1 (SLC32A1) or vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter (VIAAT), is encoded by the gene localized on human chromosome 20q11.23. The encoded protein is highly expressed in both γ-aminobutyric acid -ergic (GABAergic) and glycinergic nerve endings.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-20 located at the N-terminus of mouse VGAT. This sequence is identical in rat VGAT and highly conserved (single a.a. substitution) in human VGAT.
Application
Anti-Vesicular GABA Transporter antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
- immunohistochemistry
- western blot
- immunocytochemistry
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT) plays a vital role in loading of presynaptic vesicles with glycine and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). VGAT is precisely involved in packing GABA into synaptic vesicles. In addition, it also has a crucial role in inhibitory synaptic transmission. Genetic variations in the gene leads to hyperekplexia.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
