The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-GABRB3 antibody has been validated for WB. It is suitable to detect GABRB3 in samples from Human, Rat, Mouse, Cow, Dog, Zebrafish (Danio rerio), Chicken, Non-Human Primate and Xenopus laevis.
The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat tissue. Specific for the ~53k GABAA receptor beta-3 subunit phosphorylated at Ser408/409. Immunolabeling of the GABAA band is completely blocked by the phospho-peptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephospho-peptide.

Background
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. There are two major classes of GABA receptors: the GABAA and the GABAB subtype of receptors. GABAA-Rs are important therapeutic targets for a range of sedative, anxiolytic, and hypnotic agents and are implicated in several diseases including epilepsy, anxiety, depression, and sub-stance abuse. The GABAA-R is a multimeric subunit complex. To date six Alpha's, four Beta's and four Gamma's, plus alternative splicing variants of some of these subunits, have been identified (Olsen and Tobin, 1990, Whiting et al., 1999, Ogris et al., 2004). Injection in oocytes or mammalian cell lines of cRNA coding for Alpha- and beta-subunits results in the expression of functional GABAA-Rs sensitive to GABA. However, coexpression of a Gamma-subunit is required for benzodiazepine modulation. Phosphorylation of Serine 408 and Serine 409 within the Beta-3 subunit have been shown to be critical for the functional modulation of Beta-3 containing recombinant receptors (Brandon et al., 2000).Synonyms: GABA A receptor subunit beta-3, GABRB-3, Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit beta-3
