A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of GABRA1 antibody, Alternative Names: GABRA1 control peptide, GABRA1 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-GABRA1 Blocking Peptide, Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Blocking Peptide, Gaba A Receptor Alpha 1 Blocking Peptide, ECA4 Blocking Peptide, EJM Blocking Peptide
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain where it acts at GABA-A receptors, which are ligand-gated chloride channels. Chloride conductance of these channels can be modulated by agents such as benzodiazepines that bind to the GABA-A receptor. At least 16 distinct subunits of GABA-A receptors have been identified.
