Background of GABRA2 antibody
GABA (?-aminobutyric acid) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Its production, release, reuptake and metabolism occur in the nervous system.The GABA transmitter interacts with two major types of receptors: ionotropic GABAA (GABAAR) and the metabotropic GABAB) receptors. The GABAAR belong to the ligand gated ion channel superfamily.The GABAAR, is a heteropentamer, with all of its five subunits contributing to the pore formation. To date, eight subunit isoforms were cloned: a, Ã?, ?, d, e, p, ?, and ?. Six a subunit isoforms were described to exist in mammals (a1-a6). The tive GABAA receptor, in most cases, consists of 2a, 2Ã? and 1? submit. The a subunit is the most common subunit and is expressed ubiquitously. It determines the affinities for allosteric ligands shown by GABAAR.The a2-subunit mR is strongly expressed only in the hippocampus and the hypothalamus. It occurs very early in rat brain development and declines in adulthood. The failure to complete the normal transition between the a-subunits that are highly expressed in early development (a2, a3, a5) to those expressed in adulthood (a1) might play a major role in the development of temporal lobe epilepsy.
