GABAB R1 Antibody (Phospho-Ser923)

Polyclonal Antibody

Wet Ice

The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat tissue. It is anticipated that the antibody will react with bovine, human, mouse and non-human primate tissues based on the fact that these species have 100% homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.
Western blot of rat synaptic membrane showing specific immunolabeling of the ~102k GABAB R1 protein phosphorylated at Ser923 (control). The phosphospecificity of this labeling is shown in the second lane (lambda-phosphatase: lambda -Ptase). The blot is identical to the control except that it was incubated in lambda -Ptase (1200 units for 30 min) before being exposed to the phospho-Ser923 GABAB antibody. The immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with lambda -Ptase.

Liquid. 100 ul in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 ug per ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Adequate amount of material to conduct 10-mini Western Blots.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. There are two major classes of GABA receptors: the GABAA and the GABAB subtype of receptors. GABAB receptors are heterodimeric G protein-coupled receptors that mediate slow synaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Phosphorylation enhances GABAB receptor effector coupling (Couve et al., 2004). Phosphorylation of Ser923 is thought to be important in the regulation of GABAB receptor function.
