Function

Component of a heterodimeric G-protein coupled receptor for GABA, formed by GABBR1 and GABBR2 (PubMed:15617512, PubMed:18165688, PubMed:22660477, PubMed:24305054, PubMed:9872316, PubMed:9872744). Within the heterodimeric GABA receptor, only GABBR1 seems to bind agonists, while GABBR2 mediates coupling to G proteins (PubMed:18165688). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase (PubMed:10075644, PubMed:10773016, PubMed:24305054). Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase, stimulates phospholipase A2, activates potassium channels, inactivates voltage-dependent calcium-channels and modulates inositol phospholipid hydrolysis (PubMed:10075644, PubMed:10773016, PubMed:10906333, PubMed:9872744). Plays a critical role in the fine-tuning of inhibitory synaptic transmission (PubMed:22660477, PubMed:9872744). Pre-synaptic GABA receptor inhibits neurotransmitter release by down-regulating high-voltage activated calcium channels, whereas postsynaptic GABA receptor decreases neuronal excitability by activating a prominent inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) conductance that underlies the late inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (PubMed:10075644, PubMed:22660477, PubMed:9872316, PubMed:9872744). Not only implicated in synaptic inhibition but also in hippocampal long-term potentiation, slow wave sleep, muscle relaxation and antinociception (Probable).

Notes

ab230136 is the carrier-free version of Anti-GABA B Receptor 2/GABBR2 antibody [EP2411Y] ab75838.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

    This IHC data was generated using the same anti-GABA B Receptor 2/GABBR2 antibody clone, EP2411Y, in a different buffer formulation (cat# Anti-GABA B Receptor 2/GABBR2 antibody [EP2411Y] ab75838).

    Anti-GABA B Receptor 2/GABBR2 antibody [EP2411Y] ab75838 staining GABA B Receptor 2/GABBR2 in Rat Postnatal (P15) Cerebellum by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 hour at 25°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a 10mM citrate buffer, pH6. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/400 in PBS with 2% donkey serum) for 16 hours at 25°C. An Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated Donkey anti-rabbit, polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody.

    IHC and confocal microscopy for GABA B Receptor 2/GABBR2 (GABAB2) in the postnatal rat cerebellum. (A, C, E, G) Negative control by omission of the primary antibody at 10, 20, 40 and 60X. (B-B'', D-D'', F-F'', H-H'') Immunolabeling for GABAB2 (green) and/or the calcium-binding protein calbindin (red) at 10, 20, 40 and 60X. (I-K) Zooms of the insets shown in F-F''. Specific signal for GABAB2 is mainly observed in the molecular layer (ML) and internal granular layer (IGL) of the cerebellar grey matter. Purkinje cells (PkL) are enriched in GABAB2 especially at the surface of the dendritic trees (white arrowheads) oriented towards the ML. Golgi II cells (yellow arrowhead) located in the IGL are also positive for GABAB2. EGL: external granular layer. n: calbindin-positive nucleus of a Purkinje cell. Orange arrowhead: GABAB2-immunoreactive granular cell in the IGL. WM: white matter. An Olympus FV 1000 confocal microscope was used and images were processed with Adobe Photoshop CS4.
