General description
57 kDa
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.
Immunogen
A 17 amino acid peptide sequence near the carboxy terminal region of rat VGAT (McIntire, S., 1997).
Application
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).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Antibody cross-reactivity with various species is not known. The immunogen sequence is 100% conserved in mouse, human and monkey.
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.
Physical form
