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 ?2 subunit is the most abundant subunit in the brain and is required for clustering and postsynaptic localization of ?1 or ?2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors in mouse brain.{56129} Mutations in GABRG2, the gene encoding the ?2 subunit, have been found in patients with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE), genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+), Dravet syndrome, and idiopathic genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE).{46950} Cayman’s GABAA Receptor ?2 Subunit Polyclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes the GABAA receptor ?2 subunit at approximately 46 kDa from mouse and rat samples.
