Anti-SLC32A1 Antibody

This polyclonal antibody targets SLC32A1, the gene that encodes the Vesicular GABA Transporter (VGAT), a presynaptic membrane protein responsible for loading the inhibitory neurotransmitters GABA and glycine into synaptic vesicles. As a marker of inhibitory nerve terminals, VGAT is a standard tool in neuroscience research for mapping GABAergic and glycinergic circuitry.

Generated in rabbit and supplied unconjugated at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, this 100 µl reagent from Antibodies.com is validated for Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows and shows reactivity against human, mouse, and rat samples.

Typical applications include labeling GABAergic axon terminals in fixed brain tissue sections, probing synaptic vesicle-enriched membrane fractions by immunoblotting, and characterizing inhibitory synapse distribution across cortical and subcortical regions. For long-term storage, keep the glycerol-containing formulation frozen at -20 °C in working aliquots to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles of the antibody solution.
