Rabbit anti-Mouse 4-Aminobutyrate Aminotransferase (ABAT) Polyclonal Antibody | anti-ABAT antibody
APC/CY7-Linked Polyclonal Antibody to 4-Aminobutyrate Aminotransferase (ABAT)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The protein sequence is over 95% similar to the pig protein. GABA is estimated to be present in nearly one-third of human synapses. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
ABAT: Catalyzes the conversion of gamma-aminobutyrate and L- beta-aminoisobutyrate to succinate semialdehyde and methylmalonate semialdehyde, respectively. Can also convert delta-aminovalerate and beta-alanine. Defects in ABAT are a cause of GABA transaminase deficiency (GABATD). The phenotype of this deficiency includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.

Product Notes
The ABAT abat (Catalog #AAA2073296) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The APC/CY7-Linked Polyclonal Antibody to 4-Aminobutyrate Aminotransferase (ABAT) reacts with Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's 4-Aminobutyrate Aminotransferase (ABAT) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin/Paraffin, ELISA (ELISA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ABAT abat 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 "4-Aminobutyrate Aminotransferase (ABAT), 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
