Rabbit GABA Transporter 1/GAT 1 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-SLC6A1 antibody
Anti-GABA Transporter 1/GAT 1 antibody
Background: SLC6A1(Solute Carrier family 6(Neurotransmitter transporter, Gaba), Member 1), also called GABATR or GABATHG, encodes a gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA) transporter, which removes GABA from the synaptic cleft. The SLC6A1 gene contains 15 exons and is approximately 25 kb by Lam et al. And it is mapped on 3p25.3. Zomot et al.(2007) showed that introduction of a negatively charged amino acid at or near 1 of the 2 putative sodium binding sites of the GABA transporter GAT1 from rat brain(also calledSLC6A1) renders both net flux and exchange of GABA largely chloride independent. By in vitro functional expression studies, the SLC6A1 insertion promoter(2 copies of the sequence) had significantly greater promoter activity than the noninsertion(1 copy of the sequence) promoter, which in turn had greater activity than a promoterless control. Studies of postmortem hippocampus from 69 African American individuals showed that the SLC6A1promoter genotype predicted SLC6A1 RNA expression and that overall SLC6A1 expression decreased with age.

Product Notes
The SLC6A1 slc6a1 (Catalog #AAA175748) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-GABA Transporter 1/GAT 1 antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GABA Transporter 1/GAT 1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Paraffin. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SLC6A1 slc6a1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GABA Transporter 1/GAT 1, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
