Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ GABAA and GABAB receptors differ with regard to their ionic characteristics and pharmacological properties. The GABAA receptor is an ionotropic receptor that forms the GABA gated chloride channel and consists of several heterogeneous subunits with membrane recognition sites for benzodiazapenes. GABAA receptor is a ligand-gated chloride channel that is a multimeric subunit complex. So far, around 16 subunits have been identified. This gene encodes the β 2 subunit, which maps to human chromosome 5q34. It is present in a cluster along with genes encoding α 1 and γ 2 subunits of the GABAA receptor._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ fusion protein of MBP with the amino acid sequence representing the cytosolic loop of the rat GABAA receptor (β2 subunit)_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-GABAA Receptor (β2 subunit), cytosolic loop antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a working dilution of 1:1000-1:2000 using rat brain membrane. It is also suitable for immunoprecipitation._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 100 μg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol_x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ The inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA signals through two distinct types of pre- and postsynaptic receptors, GABAA and GABAB. Both GABA receptors can regulate depression of synaptic transmission and be involved in the inhibition controlling neuronal excitability. Alterations in N-glycosylation of α1, β1, and β2 have been observed in schizophrenic patients.
