Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-VGluT1 antibody [N28-9] - BSA and Azide free (AB264108)

IHC image of VGluT1 staining in rat brain formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab134283, 5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS and Azide (ab134283).

Project

Western blot - Anti-VGluT1 antibody [N28-9] - BSA and Azide free (AB264108)

This blot was produced using a 10% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 5% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab134283 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab134283).

VGluT1 or Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 1 is an important protein for transporting glutamate in the brain. It plays an important role in packaging glutamate into synaptic vesicles. This protein has an approximate mass of 61 kDa. Scientists find VGluT1 expression mainly in the central nervous system especially in areas involved in synaptic transmission and neural communication. VGluT1 localizes at the presynaptic terminals and enables glutamate to be stored in vesicles before release into the synaptic cleft.
Biological function summary

The function of VGluT1 centers on neurotransmitter regulation maintaining adequate synaptic glutamate levels. It does not work alone but works as part of a complex within the presynaptic vesicular organelles. This transport system enables efficient glutamate signaling essential for learning and memory. Through its action it supports important processes in brain development and synaptic plasticity indicating its role in cognitive functions.

Pathways

VGluT1 is essential in the glutamatergic signaling pathways which influence numerous neurotransmission activities. Its activity interlinks with proteins like synaptophysin and synapsins that help dock and release synaptic vesicles. Another associated pathway involves glutamate synthesis and recycling helping maintain excitatory neurotransmission balance. These pathways implicate VGluT1 in maintaining proper neural network connectivity and excitatory-inhibitory balance.

Altered VGluT1 function impacts conditions such as schizophrenia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Researchers associate its dysregulation with impaired glutamate homeostasis leading to synaptic dysfunction. VGluT1 interacts with neuronal proteins such as EAAT2 involved in ALS where its malfunction results in motor neuron degeneration. In the context of schizophrenia altered VGluT1 expression disturbs glutamatergic neurotransmission contributing to symptoms due to synaptic imbalance.

Target data

Multifunctional transporter that transports L-glutamate as well as multiple ions such as chloride, proton, potassium, sodium and phosphate (PubMed : 10938000, PubMed : 11001057, PubMed : 11698619, PubMed : 18080752, PubMed : 19169251, PubMed : 25433636, PubMed : 27133463, PubMed : 29642010, PubMed : 33440152, PubMed : 8202535). At the synaptic vesicle membrane, mainly functions as an uniporter which transports preferentially L-glutamate but also phosphate from the cytoplasm into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells (PubMed : 10938000, PubMed : 11001057, PubMed : 11698619, PubMed : 18080752, PubMed : 29642010). The L-glutamate or phosphate uniporter activity is electrogenic and is driven by the proton electrochemical gradient, mainly by the electrical gradient established by the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase across the synaptic vesicle membrane (PubMed : 29642010). In addition, functions as a chloride channel that allows a chloride permeation through the synaptic vesicle membrane that affects the proton electrochemical gradient and promotes synaptic vesicles acidification (PubMed : 10938000, PubMed : 19169251, PubMed : 25433636, PubMed : 27133463, PubMed : 29642010). Moreover, may function as a K(+)/H(+) antiport allowing to maintain the electrical gradient and to decrease chemical gradient and therefore sustain vesicular glutamate uptake (PubMed : 25433636). The vesicular K(+)/H(+) antiport activity is electroneutral (PubMed : 25433636). At the plasma membrane, following exocytosis, functions as a symporter of Na(+) and phosphate from the extracellular space to the cytoplasm allowing synaptic phosphate homeostasis regulation (PubMed : 29642010, PubMed : 33440152, PubMed : 8202535). The symporter activity is driven by an inside negative membrane potential and is electrogenic (PubMed : 29642010). Is necessary for synaptic signaling of visual-evoked responses from photoreceptors (By similarity).
