Anti-SLC32A1 Antibody

SLC32A1 (solute carrier family 32 member 1) is the vesicular GABA transporter that loads the inhibitory neurotransmitters GABA and glycine into synaptic vesicles, and this polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is raised in rabbit and supplied unconjugated in a 100 µl vial. Validated for western blot and immunohistochemistry, the reagent detects the transporter in human, mouse, and rat samples.

Also known as VGAT or VIAAT, SLC32A1 serves as a defining marker of GABAergic and glycinergic inhibitory neurons throughout the central nervous system. Neuroscience laboratories apply this antibody to map inhibitory circuits, characterize synaptic terminal populations in rodent brain sections, and probe transporter distribution across neuronal subtypes. The polyclonal format increases the likelihood of recognizing multiple epitopes of the target, supporting consistent staining in fixed tissue and clean bands on western blots prepared from brain lysate.

Upon arrival, aliquot the antibody to limit freeze-thaw cycles, refrigerate, and protect from light. Intended for research use only.
