Application

Immunohistochemistry: A 1:50-1:300 dilution of a previous lot worked using ABC with NiDAB on floating mouse brain sections.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Detect Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 2 using this Anti-Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 2 Antibody validated for use in WB, IH.

General description

Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 2 (VGLUT2) is a sodium dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter that is involved in the calcium dependent glutamate release from astrocytes. It is expressed in only a subset of neurons, localized to synaptic vesicles, at synapses exhibiting classical excitatory features. VGLUT2 mRNA is found in brain regions that lack VGLUT1, a related protein also displaying sodium dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter activity.
