An inhibitory receptor in the nervous system
Guinea pig monoclonal recombinant IgG
Cat. No.: 146 308
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $415.00
Cat. No. 146 308 50 µg purified recombinant IgG, lyophilized. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!

Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the well known monoclonal mouse antibody mAb4a. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced with Guinea pig specific sequences. The antibody can therefore be used with standard anti-Guinea pig secondary reagents. It also carries a Strep-tag at the C-terminus of the heavy chain.The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells.
IHC: Tissue sections require additional antigen retrieval with methanol/acetic acid prior to antibody incubation. For details see Dumoulin A, Triller A & Dieudonné S (2001).

Background
The inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) is a member of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily of neurotransmitter receptors. It is an oligomeric protein composed of homologous subunits (α 1-4 and β) with four transmembrane segments (M1-M4) each.
It shows a widespread expression profile in brain. Several isoforms and splice variants with distinct pharmacology have been discovered so far.
