Reconstitution InstructionsSpin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 100 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Storage InstructionsAfter reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.
Batch NumberPlease see item label.
Expiration Date12 months after date of receipt (unopened vial).
Scientific BackgroundGABARAP is highly positively charged in its N-terminus and shares sequence homology with MAP1LC3 1A and 1B. This protein clusters neurotransmitter receptors (GABA(A) receptors) by mediating interaction with the cytoskeleton. SUBUNIT: Interacts with GABRG2, TUBA1, ULK1 and NSF. Interacts with beta-tubulin and GPHN. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Intracytoplasmic membrane. Cytoskeleton. Largely associated with intracellular membrane structures including the Golgi apparatus and post-synaptic cisternae. Colocalizes with microtubules. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.

A. Confocal microscopy on immunofluorescently detected GABARAP (in red) in cytospin-isolated human white blood cells using Rabbit antibody to GABARAP: whole serum (R-143-100) at a dilution of 1: 200, incubated for 1 h at room temperature, counter-stained with Hoechst Dye. Here, the merged picture is presented.
B. Confocal microscopy on immunofluorescently detected MHC class II (in green) in cytospin-isolated human white blood cells. The cells were counter-stained with Hoechst Dye. The merged picture is presented.
C is the merged picture of Figures A & B. Confocal microscopy on immunofluorescently detected GABARAP in cytospin-isolated human white blood cells using Rabbit antibody to GABARAP: whole serum (R-143-100) at a dilution of 1: 200, incubated for 1 h at room temperature. The cells were double-stained for GABARAP appearing in red and MHC class II appearing in green. The cells were counter stained with Hoechst Dye (blue colour). Here, the merged picture is presented.
