GABA-A receptors are involved in inhibitory neurotransmission
Rabbit polyclonal purified antibody
Cat. No.: 224 103
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $405.00
Cat. No. 224 103 50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. 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!

Other species not tested yet.
Specificity K.O. validated PubMed: 26973458
Matching control protein/peptide 224-1P
Remarks

WB: The crude antiserum (cat. no. 224 102) is highly recommended. GABA-A receptor alpha2 aggregates after boiling, making it necessary to run SDS-PAGE with non-boiled samples.
ICC: This antibody is also suitable for the surface staining of living cells. After washing cells with bound antibodies, they can be fixed and visualized with secondaryreagents.
IHC-G: Fixation with 3% glyoxal, 1% acetic acid, 20% ethanol in ddH2O according to Richter et al. 2017 is recommended.
