Application Data:
Autophagy GABARAP Antibody (N-term)

(TOP) Western blot analysis of GABARAP (arrow) using purified Pab (Cat.#AP1821a). 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the GABARAP gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies). (BUTTOM) Rabbit anti-GABARAP Abgent AP1821a 1:75 dilution in 5% scimmed milk powder. Secondary antibody goat anti-rabbit-HRP ECL detection 30 sec on X-ray film.

Autophagy GABARAP Antibody (N-term)

(TOP) Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human hepatocarcinoma tissue reacted with Autophagy GABARAP Antibody (N-term)(Cat.#AP1821a), which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. (BUTTOM) Immunofluorescence staining of GABARAP Antibody (N-term) (Cat# AP1821a) on paraformaldehyde-fixed, saponin-permeabilized HeLa cells. Comparison of control (full-medium) and autophagy induced (EBSS 1 h) cells. Data courtesy of Dr. Eeva-Liisa Eskelinen, University of Helsinki,Finland.

Background:
Gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptors [GABA(A) receptors] are ligand-gated chloride channels that mediate inhibitory neurotransmission. GABARAP is GABA(A) receptor-associated protein, which is highly positively charged in its N-terminus and shares sequence similarity with light chain-3 of microtubule-associated proteins 1A and 1B. This protein clusters neurotransmitter receptors by mediating interaction with the cytoskeleton.
