Applications
 
WB: yes (see remarks)
IP: yes (see remarks)
ICC: 1 : 500 gallery  
IHC: 1 : 500 (see remarks) gallery  
IHC-P: not recommended

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.

Clone HumAb7a
Subtype IgG (κ light chain)
Immunogen Nativ Protein corresponding to AA 1 to 768 from rat Gephyrin (UniProt Id: Q03555)
Epitop AA 264 to 276 from rat Gephyrin (UniProt Id: Q03555)
Reactivity Reacts with: human (Q9NQX3), rat (Q03555), mouse (Q8BUV3), pig, goldfish, zebrafish.
Other species not tested yet.
Specificity Specific for the brain specific 93 kDa splice variant phosphorylated at Ser-270. K.O. validated
Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the well known monoclonal mouse antibody mAb7a. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced with human specific sequences. The antibody can, therefore, be used with standard anti-human secondary reagents.
WB: Clone 3B11 (cat. no. 147 111) is highly recommended.
IP: Clone 3B11 (cat. no. 147 111) highly recommended.
IHC: For best results use the protocol of Schneider Gasser et al., 2006.
Alternatively, antigen retrieval (10 mM citrate, pH 6.0, overnight at 60°C) can be applied.

Background

Gephyrin is a bifunctional protein which is essential for both synaptic clustering of inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system and the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) in peripheral tissues. It co-purifies with the inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) and is expressed abundantly in all brain areas which contain synapses.
