ABAT, or 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, serves as a critical mitochondrial enzyme responsible for catabolizing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. By regulating GABA availability, ABAT influences neuronal excitability and has emerged as a significant target in neuroscience research, particularly in studies examining seizure disorders, neurological development, and GABAergic signaling pathways. Beyond its neurological roles, ABAT has garnered attention in cancer metabolism research, where altered GABA metabolism may contribute to tumor microenvironment modulation and cellular proliferation.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 5B6, offers researchers the reproducibility essential for longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. Developed using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma-derived reagents, ensuring consistent performance across experiments. The rabbit host origin provides high-affinity binding characteristics, while affinity chromatography purification delivers a clean preparation suitable for demanding applications.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates reliable detection in paraffin-embedded human liver tissue, where ABAT expression reflects the organ's role in amino acid metabolism. Using a citrate buffer antigen retrieval protocol at pH 6.0 with recommended dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200, researchers can expect clear, specific staining patterns visualized through standard HRP-DAB detection systems. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications, providing flexibility for both tissue-based localization studies and quantitative protein measurement workflows.
This antibody supports investigations spanning neuroscience, cancer biology, metabolic disorders, and signal transduction research, making it a versatile tool for researchers exploring GABA metabolism and its broader physiological implications.
