Glutamate Decarboxylase 1/2 antibody
Rabbit anti glutamate decarboxylase 1/2 antibody (AHP360) used for the evaluation of hGAD65 expression levels in Gad65 expressing algal transformants by sandwich ELISA.
Image caption:
Expression levels as percentages of hGAD65 in total soluble protein (TSP) of hGAD65 expressing C. reinhardtii transformants. The expression level was determined by hGAD65 specific ELISA as described in detail in methods. hGAD-1 and hGAD-2, two independent algal transformants; WT, untransformed wild type C. reinhardtii 137c strain.

Rabbit anti Glutamate Decarboxylase 1/2 antibody recognizes both molecular forms of glutamate decarboxylase, GAD1 (GAD67) and GAD2 (GAD65), the enzyme which converts glutamic acid to gamma -aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory transmitter in the higher brain region.
