Merck, A2052-100UL, Anti-GABA antibody produced in rabbit

Anti-GABA is produced in rabbit using GABA-BSA as the immunogen. The antibody is isolated from antiserum by immunospecific methods of purification. Antigen specific affinity isolation removes essentially all rabbit serum proteins, including immunoglobulins which do not specifically bind to GABA. GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is a multifunctional molecule found in several organisms, from prokaryotes to vertebrates. It is present in non-nervous structures, such as peripheral nervous and endocrine systems. GABA is formed following decarboxylation of glutamic acid by the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD).
