Anti-Vesicular GABA Transporter (VGAT) Antibody

32160702

NA.41

Vesicular GABA Transporter (unc-47) homologue is a 525 amino acid long protein belonging to the family of neurotransmitter transporter (1). VGAT functions in the uptake of GABA and glycine into synaptic vesicles. Since the protein is bound to synaptic vesicles, VGAT antibodies are excellent markers of presynaptic GABAergic and glycinergic neurons.

Specific for Vesicular GABA Transporter (VGAT). Vesicular GABA Transporter (unc-47) homologue is a 525 amino acid long protein belonging to the family of neurotransmitter transporter. The immunogen peptide shows no significant homology with other known proteins.
Antibody cross-reactivity with various species is not known. The immunogen sequence is 100% conserved in mouse, human and monkey.

A 17 amino acid peptide sequence near the carboxy terminal region of rat VGAT (McIntire, S., 1997).

Immunohistochemistry/Immunofluorescence:
2-20 µg/mL of a previous lot was used on paraformaldehyde fixed sections.

ELISA:
1:10,000 – 1:100,000 dilution of a previous lot was used on ELISA, using 50-100 ng of control peptide (Cat. No. AG379) per well.

Western blot:
1-10 µg/mL (Chemiluminescence technique) The expected molecular weight is approximately 55-60 kDa.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
This Anti-Vesicular GABA Transporter (VGAT) Antibody is validated for use in ELISA, IF, IH, WB for the detection of Vesicular GABA Transporter (VGAT).

Evaluated by Western Blot on Rat retina lysates.

Western Blot Analysis:
1:500 dilution of this antibody detected Vesicular GABA Transporter on 10μg of rat retina lysates.

ImmunoAffinity Purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing PBS with 0.1% BSA.

Control
Brain tissue, rat retina lysate
