Anti-GABA_A Receptor (β2 subunit), Cytosolic Loop antibody produced in rabbit

GABAA and GABAB receptors differ with regard to their ionic characteristics and pharmacological properties. The GABAA receptor is an ionotropic receptor that forms the GABA gated chloride channel and consists of several heterogeneous subunits with membrane recognition sites for benzodiazapenes. GABAA receptor is a ligand-gated chloride channel that is a multimeric subunit complex. So far, around 16 subunits have been identified. This gene encodes the β 2 subunit, which maps to human chromosome 5q34. It is present in a cluster along with genes encoding α 1 and γ 2 subunits of the GABAA receptor.

Anti-GABAA Receptor (β2 subunit), cytosolic loop antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a working dilution of 1:1000-1:2000 using rat brain membrane. It is also suitable for immunoprecipitation.

The inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA signals through two distinct types of pre- and postsynaptic receptors, GABAA and GABAB. Both GABA receptors can regulate depression of synaptic transmission and be involved in the inhibition controlling neuronal excitability. Alterations in N-glycosylation of α1, β1, and β2 have been observed in schizophrenic patients.
