Product Details anti-Gephyrin Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 183-195, Intracellular

Purpose: A Guinea Pig Polyclonal Antibody to Gephyrin

Sequence: (C)RDAIVKVKEV HDE

Predicted Reactivity: Mouse,human - identical

Characteristics: Guinea Pig Anti-Gephyrin Antibody (ABIN7581882) is a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of the rat protein. The antibody can be used in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. It has been designed to recognize Gephyrin from mouse, rat and human samples. The antigen used to immunize guinea pigs is the same as Anti-Gephyrin Antibody (ABIN7043214, ABIN7044520 and ABIN7044521) raised in rabbit. Our line of guinea pig antibodies enables more flexibility with our products such as multiplex staining studies, immunoprecipitation and more.

Purification: Affinity purified on immobilized antigen.

Immunogen: (C)RDAIVKVKEVHDE, corresponding to amino acid residues 183-195 of rat Gephyrin

Isotype: IgG

Target Details for Gephyrin

Target: Gephyrin (GPHN)

Alternative Name: GPHN

Background:

Synonyms: GPHN, Putative glycine receptor-tubulin linker protein

Description: Gephyrin is a highly conserved, intracellular scaffolding protein responsible for the post-synaptic anchoring and assembly of the inhibitory glycine and γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GlyR and GABAAR), it essentially anchors the receptors, by auto-oligomerization, to the cytoskeleton1,2.GABAergic transmission is important for the mediation of neuronal excitability and has a crucial role in neurodevelopment, throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems (especially via GABAAR). Glycinergic neurons on the other hand control motor functions and sensory signaling as well as take part in pain transmission in the spine's dorsal horn. Importantly, gephyrin has a 1:1 stoichiometry with GlyR3,4.Up-to-date atomic force microscopy data of gephyrin has shown that it forms trimers with multiple conformations. It is a modular construct with three domains: an N-terminal G-, a central C- and a C-terminal E-domain. Recent work suggests also that gephyrin regulates neuronal differentiation by anchoring small cytoskeletal-related signaling molecules at unique subcellular locations2,5,6.
