Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Buffer: PBS, pH 7.4, containing 0.02 % sodium azide.

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.

Storage: 4 °C/-20 °C

Storage Comment: The antibody is stable in lyophilized form if stored at -20°C or below. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for 2-3 weeks at 2-8°C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

Background: Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD) catalyzes the conversion of glutamate to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. There are two isoforms of GAD, GAD65 (GAD2) and GAD67 (GAD1) (65 and 67 kDa, respectively) encoded by two different genes. With 64% amino acid identity, the two isoforms have distinct intraneuronal distribution in the brain. The highest degree of diversity appears to be located at the N-terminus. Primarily found in nerve terminals, GAD65 is required for targeting the enzyme to GABA-containing secretory vesicles. GAD67 is thought to be primarily located in the nerve cell body and has been identified as a major autoantigen in type 1 diabetes.Rabbit Anti-GAD65 Polyclonal Antibody is developed in rabbit using a KLH-coupled synthetic peptide from N-terminal of human GAD65 (Swiss Prot: Q05329).
