Cat. No. 147 208 |
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! |
Applications |
IP: not recommended (see remarks) ICC: 1 : 500 gallery IHC: not tested yet IHC-P: not recommended |
Clone | RtmAb7a |
Subtype | IgG1 (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 rat specific sequences. The antibody can therefore be used with standard anti-rat secondary reagents. |
Data sheet | 147_208.pdf |
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.
