Dopamine Transporter, Extracellular Loop 2 Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The dopamine transporter (DAT) is responsible for the reaccumulation of dopamine after it has been released. DAT antibodies and antibodies for other markers of catecholamine biosynthesis are widely used as markers for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons in a variety of applications including depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease and drug abuse (Kish et al., 2001; Zhu et al., 2000; Zhu et al., 1999) . Levels of DAT protein expression are altered by chronic drug administration (Wilson et al., 1996) .
