Optimal working dilution should be determined by the investigator.
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Reconstitution
Add 50 μL of distilled water to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL.
Handling Advice
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store lyophilized at 2-8 °C for one month or at -20 °C long term. After reconstitution store the antibody undiluted at 2-8 °C for up to one month or in aliquots at -20 °C long term.
4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities.4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The protein sequence is over 95 % similar to the pig protein. GABA is estimated to be present in nearly one-third of human synapses. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene.Synonyms: 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, GABA aminotransferase, GABAT, Gamma-amino-N-butyrate transaminase, L-AIBAT
