Product Data

• Applications: IF, IHC, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Western Blot.
  Immunocytochemistry.
  Immunohistochemistry.
  Recommended Dilutions:
  1/2000-1/5000 for Western blots.
  1/1000-1/2000 for Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry using 2% paraformaldehyde-fixed tissues or cells.
  Quality Control: This antibody was analyzed by Immunohistochemistry (at a concentration of 1 µg/ml) using Fluorescein-labeled Goat anti-Chicken IgY (1/500 dilution, Cat.-No AP31795FC-N) as the secondary reagent.
• Reactivities: Human, Mouse, Rat
• Host: Chicken
• Isotype: Ig
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Immunogen: Synthetic peptide KLH conjugated corresponding to a region near the C-terminus of this gene product, and was 100% conserved between the Human (Q99259), Mouse (P48318) and Rat (NP_058703) gene products.
  After repeated injections into the hens, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks. These IgY fractions were then affinity purified using a peptide column.

• Background: Human Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD-67), [EC 4.1.1.15] is a 66,987 dalton protein (594 amino acids) selectively expressed in a subpopulation of GABAergic neurons of the CNS. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of glutamic acid, forming the inhibitory neurotransmitter β-amino butyric acid (GABA). It is also know as GAD-1.
• Synonyms: Glutamate decarboxylase 1, GAD-67
