N-GAD65_PURE_GAD65_Antibody_1_WB_052118
Western blot of purified anti-Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD65/GAD2) antibody (clone N-GAD65). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 30 µg of human brain lysate; Lane 3: 30 µg of mouse brain lysate. The blot was incubated with 1 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system.

Description

GAD gene encodes one of the several forms of glutamic acid decarboxylase, which is identified as a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes. The enzyme encoded is responsible for catalyzing the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from L-glutamic acid. A pathogenic role for this enzyme has been identified in the human pancreas since it has been identified as an autoantibody and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes. This gene may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. GAD65 targets presynaptic clusters in axons and exhibits relative dendritic exclusion. GAD65 synthesizes GABA for neurotransmission and is only necessary at nerve terminals and synapses. In order to aid in neurotransmission, GAD65 forms a complex with Heat Shock Cognate 70 (HSC70), cysteine string protein (CSP) and Vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT), which, as a complex, helps package GABA into vesicles for release during neurotransmission.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 10 µg per ml. For immunohistochemistry formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, a concentration range of 1.0 - 5.0 µg/ml is suggested.  It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Application Notes

Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats of this clone) include: immunoprecipitation.1

For in vivo studies or highly sensitive assays, we recommend Ultra-LEAF™ purified antibody (Cat. No. 844503) with a lower endotoxin limit than standard LEAF™ purified antibodies (Endotoxin <0.01 EU/µg).

This antibody demonstrates weaker reactivity to human compared to mouse GAD65/GAD2
