AHP1301 specifically recognises the 102kDa transmembrane gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABAB) receptor 2 (GABR2), when phosphorylated at Ser783.
GABABreceptors are heterodimeric G-protein coupled receptors which are important mediators of slow neuronal inhibition in the mammalian central nervous system. The functional expression of GABABreceptors on plasma membranes is dependent upon the co-expression of GABR1 (gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABAB) receptor 1) and GABR2. Studies have shown that the phosphorylation of GABR2 at the Ser783 site, by AMPK (5’AMP-activated protein kinase), is vital for enhancing the survival of neurons following ischemic brain injury.

For the detection of phosphoproteins, tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors such as 1mM Sodium Orthovanadate should be added to the sample buffer. Milk or other casein-based blocking solutions are not recommended as casein is a phosphoprotein and its use can result in high background.
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP1301 detects a band of approximately 102kDa in rat synaptic membrane cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. 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 despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to GABABreceptor 2 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
