Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes glutamate decarboxylase 1 (gene GAD1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 66.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 67 kDa.
Glutamate decarboxylase 1 (GAD1, also called GAD67) converts glutamate into the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA using pyridoxal 5′-phosphate as a cofactor. GAD67 produces most of the GABA in the brain and is spread through the neuron cytoplasm. It is a common marker of GABAergic interneurons in neuroscience research.

|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HEL cells, rat brain tissue, mouse brain tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human GAD67 fragment (Asn14–Asp122), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 95%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in brain... The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
