Gene Information

Specificity

GABA (gamma-aminobutyrate). The antibody has been calibrated against a spectrum of antigens to assure hapten selectivity and proper affinity. No measurable glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue cross-reactivity (<1:1000) against L-alanine, 1-amino-4-guanidobutane (AGB), D/L-arganine, D/L-aspartate, L-citrulline, L-cysteine, D/L-glutamate, D/L-glutamine, glutathione, glycine, L-lysine, L-ornithine, L-serine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine.

Immunogen

GABA-glutaraldehyde

Application

Immunohistochemistry using silver-intensified immunogold or fluorescence (see recommended protocol). Samples should be fixed with 0.05% - 2.5% glutaraldehyde for optimum detection.

*This antibody has also been used and found to work with a zero-low glutaraldehyde / high paraformaldehyde fixation (4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer / 3% sucrose fixative ). The minimum glutaraldehyde concentration for AB5016 is 0.00%. See protocol that follows. Performance is good with frozen sections, Vibratome sections and tissue culture formats, when penetrating reagents such as 0.3% Triton X-100 are used.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

DILUTION: Prepare enough of the AB5016 for your days use by diluting 100X with 1% GSPBT.

Aging is closely associated with chronic metabolic diseases, such as obesity, which lead to increased adiposity, skeletal muscle wasting, and imbalanced cellular energy metabolism. However, transcriptional profiles representing energy imbalances in aging-induced obesity are not fully understood. Thus, this study

We have explored whether gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is released by regulated exocytosis of GABA-containing synaptic-like microvesicles (SLMVs) in insulin-releasing rat pancreatic beta-cells. To this end, beta-cells were engineered to express GABA(A)-receptor Cl(-)-channels at high density using adenoviral infection. Electron microscopy

Pinealocytes secrete melatonin at night in response to norepinephrine released from sympathetic nerve terminals in the pineal gland. The gland also contains many other neurotransmitters whose cellular disposition, activity, and relevance to pineal function are not understood. Here, we clarify
