GABAA receptors are ligand-gated chloride channels that mediate the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the CNS.{46949,46950} They are postsynaptic heteropentameric receptors that contain protein subunits from the following isoforms: ?1-6, ?1-4, ?1-3, ?, ?, ?, ?, and ?1-3, arranged around a central pore. Phasic inhibitory synaptic transmission is regulated by ?1?2?2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors, the major isoform found in the brain.{46950,46951} The ? subunit of GABAA receptors interfaces with a ? subunit to form the GABA binding site that initiates GABA-induced action potentials and forms the benzodiazepine binding site with the ? subunit. Mutations in GABRA1, which encodes the ?1 subunit isoform, are found in patients with autosomal dominant juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), infantile spasms, and childhood absence epilepsy (CAE).{46950} GABRA1 expression is upregulated in ipsilateral, but not contralateral, perilesional tissue in a rat model of cortical ischemia-reperfusion injury.{55094} Cayman’s GABAA Receptor ?1 Subunit Polyclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes the GABAA receptor ?1 subunit at approximately 51 kDa from mouse and rat samples.
