Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Immunohistochemistry on fresh frozen (IHC-Fr) cryo-tissue-sections. In contrast to standard PFA perfusion fixed tissues, fresh frozen cryo-tissue-sections can be variably postfixed with alcohols, acetone or PFA. Alcohol or acetone fixation is e.g. of advantage for antigens masked by PFA crosslinking. For recommended postfixation, please refer to the ”Remarks” section. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of rat VGAT (UniProt Id: O35458)
Reactivity Reacts with: rat (O35458), mouse (O35633), human (Q9H598).
Other species not tested yet.
Matching control protein/peptide 131-0GP
Remarks

IHC-Fr: PFA fixation is recommended.

Background
The vesicular GABA transporter VGAT is responsible for uptake and storage of GABA and glycine by synaptic vesicles in the central nervous system. For this reason it is frequently referred to as the vesicular inhibitory aminoacid transporter VIAAT. It is different from the plasma membrane transporters in that it is driven by a proton electrochemical gradient across the vesicle membrane. So far, only one isoform is known. VGAT is currently the best marker for inhibitory nerve terminals.
