APPLICATION NOTES FOR MAB339
IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY
1) Fresh tissue (human) should be used (3-6 hours postmortem). The tissue should be immersion fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde/0.1% glutaraldehyde. Prepare 50 mm sections and store in cryoprotective solution at -15°C.
2) Sections should be incubated floating in suitable small vials.
3) Block endogenous peroxidase with 100 mmol/L Tris-HCl, 150 mmol/L NaCl, pH 7.4 (Buffer A) containing 3% H2O2 (v/v) and 10% methanol for 20 min at room temperature.
4) Wash sections in Buffer A. Incubate sections in Buffer A containing 5% fetal bovine serum (v/v) and 0.1-0.5% Triton X-100 (v/v).
5) Wash sections in Buffer A. Incubate sections with MAB339 (diluted 10-20 mg/mL in Buffer A containing 5% fetal bovine serum (v/v) and 0.1-0.5% Triton X-100 (v/v) for 12-36 hours at +4°C
6) Wash sections in Buffer A.
7) Detect with standard secondary antibody detection system (PAP, ABC, etc.).
8) Wash sections in Buffer A.
9) Mount sections on chrome alum-coated slides, dry, dehydrate, and apply coverslips.

Entrez Gene Summary:
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified.
UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: SwissProt: P14867 # GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate brain, mediates neuronal inhibition by binding to the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor and opening an integral chloride channel.
SIZE: 456 amino acids; 51802 Da
SUBUNIT: Binds UBQLN1 (By similarity). Generally pentameric. There are five types of GABA(A) receptor chains: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and rho.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
DISEASE: SwissProt: P14867 # Defects in GABRA1 are a cause of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) [MIM:606904]. JME is a common epileptic syndrome characterized by afebrile seizures, onset in adolescence (rather than in childhood) and myoclonic jerks. & Defects in GABRA1 are the cause of childhood absence epilepsy type 4 (ECA4) [MIM:611136]. ECA4 is a subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) characterized by onset at age 6-7 years, frequent absence seizures (several per day) and bilateral, synchronous, symmetric 3-Hz spike waves on EEG. During adolescence, tonic-clonic and myoclonic seizures develop. Absence seizures may either remit or persist into adulthood.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P14867 ## Belongs to the ligand-gated ionic channel (TC 1.A.9) family.
