Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GABA A Receptor alpha 6 antibody [EPR25322-129] - BSA and Azide free (AB300070)

This data was developed using ab300069, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human cerebellum tissue labelling GABA A Receptor alpha 6 with ab300069 at 1/500 dilution (1.244 μg/ml) followed by a ready to use LeicaDS9800 (BOND™ Polymer Refine Detection) was used. Positive staining on human cerebellum. The section was incubated with ab300069 for 30 mins at room temperature. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Counterstained with Hematoxylin.

Secondary antibody only control : Secondary antibody is a ready to use LeicaDS9800 (BOND™ Polymer Refine Detection).

Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, epitope retrieval solution2) for 20 mins.

Target data

Alpha subunit of the heteropentameric ligand-gated chloride channel gated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain (PubMed : 8632757). GABA-gated chloride channels, also named GABA(A) receptors (GABAAR), consist of five subunits arranged around a central pore and contain GABA active binding site(s) located at the alpha and beta subunit interface(s) (By similarity). When activated by GABA, GABAARs selectively allow the flow of chloride anions across the cell membrane down their electrochemical gradient (By similarity). Alpha-6/GABRA6 subunits are found at both synaptic and extrasynaptic sites (PubMed : 8632757). Chloride influx into the postsynaptic neuron following GABAAR opening decreases the neuron ability to generate a new action potential, thereby reducing nerve transmission (By similarity). Extrasynaptic alpha-6-containing receptors contribute to the tonic GABAergic inhibition. Alpha-6 subunits are also present on glutamatergic synapses (By similarity).
