Extra Details:
The enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) catalyzes the synthesis of g-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. GAD is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of GABA from L-glutamic acid, and it is used extensively as a marker for GABAergic neurons and synaptic terminals. GAD has been observed in pancreatic islet cells and identified as an autoantigen associated with the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
