N-GAD65_Alexa-647_Glutamic_IHC-P_040124
IHC staining of Alexa Fluor® 647 anti-Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD65/GAD2) (clone N-GAD65) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human cerebellum tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R., 1X (Cat. No. 928502), the tissue was incubated without (panel A) and with (panel B) 10 µg/mL of Alexa Fluor® 647 anti-Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD65/GAD2) (clone N-GAD65). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). Images were captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

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.

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

Additional Product Notes

For immunohistochemistry (IHC), we recommend antigen retrieval with Sodium Citrate (Cat. No. 928502). Antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA (10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% Tween-20, pH 9.0) produces a detectable but dimmer signal and is not recommended.

This is product is not recommended for use in the pancreas
