Related Product Information for anti-ABAT antibody

In the central nervous system GABA (gamma-;aminobutyric acid) functions as the main inhibitory transmitter by increasing a Cl- conductance that inhibits neuronal firing. ABAT (4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase), also known as GABAT (GABA aminotransferase), L-AIBAT or (S)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate transaminase, is a 500 amino acid mitochondrial matrix protein belonging to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family, which catabolizes GABA into succinic semialdehyde. Existing as a homodimer, ABAT binds pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor and is expressed in liver, brain, pancreas, kidney, placenta and heart. The gene encoding ABAT maps to human chromosome 16p13.2, and defects in ABAT are the cause of GABA-AT deficiency, which is characterized by hypotonia, hyperreflexia, psychomotor retardation, lethargy, EEG abnormalities and refractory seizures.

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.
