Antisera to human dopamine transporter (CT) were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
Species Reactivity:
Human, Monkey, Human and Mouse
This product detects a band of approximately 88kDa in human caudate cell lysates.
This product recognizes an epitope within the C-terminal region (CT) of dopamine transporter (DAT), also known as solute carrier family 6.
DAT is principally expressed in the presynaptic membrane of dopaminergic nerve terminals, where it mediates the rapid removal of dopamine from the synaptic cleft after neuronal stimulation. As such, DAT plays an important role in regulating the availability of dopamine in the synaptic cleft and thus in modulating the physiological functions of dopamine.
The reuptake of dopamine by DAT is inhibited by psychostimulants such as cocaine and amphetamine.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 12 months after receipt.
