Application CommentsAntibody specificity was examined in the rat thalamus and cerebellum. Glutaraldehyde is a necessary component of fixation for use with this antibody. Higher concentrations of glutaraldehyde (1%-2%) may be used as needed. The specificity of the antibody for GABA was evaluated using a competitive inhibition ELISA. A GABA conjugate control completely eliminated labeling, while 1000-fold excess of the following conjugates: alanine, aspartate, beta alanine, glutamate, glycine, taurine, and tyrosine did not inhibit the binding to the GABA conjugate control. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

Special InstructionsReconstitute the lyophilized antibody with 100 µl sterile distilled H₂O. For storage, dilute with sterile PBS or Tris buffer at dilutions no higher than 1:10. Reconstitute the entire contents of the vial; during shipment and handling portions of the lyophilized pellet may have become dislodged and may not be in the bottom of the vial. Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles of solutions.

DescriptionRabbit polyclonal antibody supplied as lyophilized undiluted serum. Recognizes GABA.
BackgroundNeurotransmitters can be defined as chemical substances that are released by the presynaptic neuron before being bound by receptors on the postsynaptic cell surface. It has been well established that the nervous system utilizes neurotransmitters for cell signaling. Neurotransmitters can be divided into two groups; low molecular weight transmitter molecules such as biogenic amines, purines, or amino acids, and bioactive peptides, of which more than 50 members have been identified in the mammalian central nervous system. Many low molecular weight neurotransmitters are produced within the axon terminal from common cellular metabolites and packaged into synaptic vesicles. In contrast, neuropeptides are synthesized in the cell body and packaged into large dense core vesicles for delivery to the presynaptic membrane. The transport and delivery of vesicles containing neurotransmitter is a highly regulated and complex process. GABA (g-aminobutyric acid) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that is involved in the pathogenesis of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders. GABA is produced from glutamic acid in a reaction catalyzed by glutamic acid decarboxylase. GABA interacts with the GABAA and GABAB receptors, which are widely distributed throughout the nervous system and in a variety of cell types. The immunolocalization, neuronal distribution, and vesicular compartmentalization of neurotransmitter molecules and their precursors are important for understanding the modulation, regulation, and function of neurotransmitters in the nervous system.
