Glycine receptor antibody - 146 011BT

An inhibitory receptor in the nervous system
Mouse monoclonal purified IgG
Cat. No.: 146 011BT
Amount: 100 µg
Price: $465.00
Cat. No. 146 011BT 100 µg purified IgG, lyophilized, labeled with Biotin.

Biotin is a small vitamin B complex molecule. Its small size minimizes interference with antibody binding sites and allows for efficient conjugation without compromising antibody functionality.
Biotin conjugated antibodies can be easily detected with Avidin/Streptavidin based secondary detection systems.
The streptavidin-biotin bond is one of the strongest non-covalent biological bonds known.

For reconstitution add 100 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
 
WB: 1 : 500 up to 1 : 1000 (AP staining)
IP: yes
ICC: yes
IHC: 1 : 250 up to 1 : 500 (see remarks) gallery  
IHC-P: not tested yet
ELISA: yes (see remarks)

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.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); a frequently employed method to quantify target-molecules in solution. The detection of some proteins requires special solubilization steps. For further information, please refer to the „Remarks“ section.

Other species not tested yet.
Specificity Specific for all glycine receptor subunits.
Remarks

IHC: Tissue sections require additional antigen retrieval with 95% methanol, 5% acetic acid prior to antibody incubation. For details see Dumoulin A, Triller A & Dieudonné S (2001).
ELISA: The ELISA-protocol for membrane proteins is recommended.

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.
