GABARE Polyclonal Antibody, PE Conjugated

GAD-65 and GAD-67, glutamate decarboxylases, function to catalyze the production of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) . In the central nervous system GABA functions as the main inhibitory transmitter by increasing a Cl- conductance that inhibits neuronal firing. GABA has been shown to activate both ionotropic (GABAA) and metabotropic (GABAB) receptors as well as a third class of receptors called GABAC. Both GABAA and GABAC are ligand-gated ion channels, however, they are structurally and functionally distinct. Members of the GABAA receptor family include GABAA R Alpha 1-6, GABAA R Beta 1-3, GABAA R Gamma 1-3, GABAA R Delta, GABAA R Epsilon, GABAA R Zeta 1 and GABAA R Zeta 2. The GABAB family is composed of GABAB R1 Alpha and GABAB R1 Beta. GABA transporters have also been identified and include GABA T-1, GABA T-2 and GABA T-3 (also designated GAT-1, -2, and -3) . The GABA transporters function to terminate GABA action.
