AHP1546 recognises extracellular loop 2 of the human dopamine transporter (DAT). DAT is a Na+/Cl-dependent transport protein that is responsible for clearing synaptic dopamine by transporting it into neurons. The protein is implicated in a number of dopamine-related disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Parkinson’s disease, depression and drug abuse. DAT consists of 12 transmembrane domains connected by intra- and extracellular loops. The largest, extracellular loop 2, occurs between transmembrane domains 3 and 4 and contains N-linked carbohydrates and a putative disulfide bond. It is the site on the DAT protein that is most sensitive to proteolysis.

Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human dopamine transporter (Extracellular loop 2) were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
