Anti-SLC6A1 Antibody

Raise sensitive detection of the GABA transporter 1 (GAT-1) in your neuroscience and transporter studies with this affinity-purified polyclonal reagent distributed by Antibodies.com. Raised in rabbit and supplied as an unconjugated IgG preparation at 1 mg/mL in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.05% sodium azide (approximately pH 7.2), this antibody is validated for western blot (WB) and immunocytochemistry (ICC) workflows. It recognizes the SLC6A1 target — also known as GAT-1, GABATR, GABT1, or solute carrier family 6 member 1 — a plasma-membrane GABA transporter that clears GABA from the synaptic cleft into presynaptic terminals and is most strongly expressed in brain, liver, and retina. The reagent has been verified to react with human, mouse, and rat samples, giving flexibility for cross-species studies in neuronal cell models and rodent tissue. Polyclonal specificity across multiple epitopes of SLC6A1 helps deliver robust signal in immunoblots and stained cell preparations, while the unconjugated format lets you pair it with the secondary antibody, label, or fluorophore of your choice for WB or ICC detection. For best results, store the vial refrigerated (typically 2–8 °C) in the supplied PBS buffer to preserve activity, and avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
