Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system.
GABA exerts its effects through ionotropic [GABA(A/C)] receptors, to produce fast synaptic inhibition, and metabotropic [GABA(B)] receptors, to produce slow, prolonged inhibitory signals.
The GABA(B) receptor consists of a heterodimer of two related 7-transmembrane receptors, GABA(B) receptor 1 and GABA(B) receptor 2.
The GABA(B) receptor 1 gene is mapped to chromosome 6p21.3 within the HLA class I region close to the HLA-F gene.
Susceptibility loci for multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and schizophrenia have also been mapped in this region.
Alternative splicing of this gene generates 4 transcript variants.
Applications:Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry.
Although a band is observed around the calculated molecular weight of 105kD, Western Blotting is not a recommended application for this antibody because the band is weak in comparison to other non-specific bands present.
Other applications not tested.
