Application

Anti-GABA A Receptor α1 Antibody, cytoplasmic loop is an antibody against GABA A Receptor α1 for use in IP & WB.
Research Category
Neuroscience
Research Sub Category
Neurotransmitters & Receptors
Western blot: 1:1,000

Immunopreciptation: The antibody will immunoprecipitate 59% of all GABA A receptors in dodecysulfate extracts of rat forebrains (150 μL) using 15 μg of antibody.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GABAA receptor alpha1 subunit, cytoplasmic loop. The apparent molecular mass of 51 kDa in rat brain membrane fractions. The antibody shows no reactivity in the forebrain of alpha1 knockout mice by Western blot.

Seizures are a common manifestation of hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury in the neonate. In status epilepticus models alterations to GABAA R subunit expression have been suggested to contribute to (i) abnormal development of the GABAergic system, (ii) why seizures become self-sustaining

GABA is a major neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. In the mature brain GABA exerts inhibitory actions via the GABAA receptor (GABAAR); however, in the immature brain GABA provides much of the excitatory drive. We examined the expression of 3

The GABAA receptor provides the majority of inhibitory neurotransmission in the adult central nervous system but in immature brain is responsible for much of the excitatory drive, a requirement for normal brain development. It is well established that GABAA receptor
