Description
Product Characteristics: Vesicular GABA Transporter (VGAT) homologue is a 525 amino acid long protein belonging to the family of neurotransmitter transporters. VGAT functions in the uptake of GABA and glycine into synaptic vesicles. Since the protein is bound to synaptic vesicles, VGAT antibodies are excellent markers of presynaptic GABAergic and glycinergic neurons.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine uptake into synaptic vesicles. The encoded protein is a member of amino acid/polyamine transporter family II. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
