GABRA1 Antibody (MA5-27703) in IHC (P)
Immunohistochemistry analysis of GABRA1 in paraffin-embedded mouse back skin. Samples were incubated with GABRA1 monoclonal antibody (Product # MA5-27703) using a dilution of 1:100 (1 hour at RT) and followed by FITC Goat Anti-Rabbit (green) at a dilution of 1:50 (1 hour at RT).

Product Specific Information
1 µg/mL of MA5-27703 was sufficient for detection of alpha1 GABA receptor in 10 µg of rat brain lysate by colorimetric immunoblot analysis using Goat anti-mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.|Detects approximately 55kDa. No cross-reactivity against GABA-A-R-Alpha 2 or -Alpha3.
Target Information
Gamma -aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, causing a hyperpolarization of the membrane through the opening of a Cl- channel associated with the GABAA Receptor (GABAA-R) subtype. GABAA-Rs are important therapeutic targets for a range of sedative, anxiolytic, and hypnotic agents and are implicated in several diseases including epilepsy, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. The GABAA-R is a multimeric subunit complex. To date aix alphas, four betas and four gammas, plus alternative splicing variants of some of these subunits, have been identified. Injection in oocytes or mammalian cell lines of cRNA coding for alpha- and beta-subunits results in the expression of functional GABAA-R sensitive to GABA. However, coexpression of a gamma-subunit is required for benzodiazepine modulation. The various effects of the benzodiazepines in brain may also be mediated via different alpha-subunits of the receptor. Lastly, phosphorylation of beta-subunits of the receptor has been shown to modulate GABAA-R function.
