Glycine Receptor Alpha 1/2 antibody
Rabbit anti glycine receptor recognises an epitope within the N-terminal region (NT) of glycine receptor alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits.
Glycine receptors are members of the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily, which mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission. The receptors are pentameric membrane proteins which form chloride channels. Binding of glycine to its receptor produces an increase in chloride conductance and membrane hyperpolarisation.
Four genes encoding glycine receptor alpha subunits have been identified, together with a single beta polypeptide. Each subunit consists of a large extracellular N-terminal region, four transmembrane domains, and a large cytoplasmic domain.

- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute with 0.1 ml sterile PBS
Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. For long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended. - Antiserum Preparation
- Antisera to rat glycine receptor (NT) were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
- Buffer Solution
- Ammonium bicarbonate
- Preservative Stabilisers
- None present
- Immunogen
- Synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of rat glycine receptor alpha 1 subunit.
Storage Information
- Storage
- Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use. - Shelf Life
- 12 months from date of reconstitution.
