An inhibitory receptor in the nervous system
Guinea pig monoclonal recombinant IgG
Cat. No.: 146 308
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $415.00
Cat. No. 146 308 50 µg purified recombinant IgG, lyophilized. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!

WB: 1 : 1000 (AP staining) gallery  
IP: not tested yet
ICC: not tested yet
IHC: 1 : 500 (see remarks) gallery  
IHC-P: not tested yet

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.

Epitop AA 96 to 105 from rat Glycine receptor α1 (UniProt Id: P07727)
Reactivity Reacts with: human (P23415, P23416, P48167), rat (P07727, P22771, P20781), mouse (Q64018, Q7TNC8, P48168), pig, zebrafish.
Other species not tested yet.
Specificity Specific for all glycine receptor subunits.
Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the well known monoclonal mouse antibody mAb4a. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced with Guinea pig specific sequences. The antibody can therefore be used with standard anti-Guinea pig secondary reagents. It also carries a Strep-tag at the C-terminus of the heavy chain.The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells.
IHC: Tissue sections require additional antigen retrieval with methanol/acetic acid prior to antibody incubation. For details see Dumoulin A, Triller A & Dieudonné S (2001).

Background
The inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily of neurotransmitter receptors. It is an oligomeric protein composed of homologous subunits (α 1-4 and β) with four transmembrane segments (M1-M4) each.
It shows a widespread expression profile in brain. Several isoforms and splice variants with distinct pharmacology have been discovered so far.
