Western Blotting Image 1: VGLUT2 (E7P9K) Rabbit mAb
Western blot analysis of extracts from various tissues using VGLUT2 (E7P9K) Rabbit mAb (upper) or GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb #5174 (lower). Low expression of VGLUT2 protein in mouse and rat spleen and kidney tissues is consistent with the predicted expression pattern.

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Protocol

Specificity / Sensitivity

VGLUT2 (E7P9K) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total VGLUT2 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with other VGLUT proteins. A background of unknown identity is detected at 100 kDa in some lysates.

Species Reactivity:

Mouse, Rat

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Lys576 of mouse VGLUT2 protein.

Background

Glutamatergic neurons release glutamate, the most common excitatory neurotransmitter. Their synaptic vesicles are filled with glutamate by vesicular glutamate transporters, VGLUTs (1). VGLUT1, also called solute carrier family 17 member 7 (SLC17A7), was first identified as an inorganic phosphate transporter (2). Despite the absence of homology with neurotransmitter transporters, VGLUT1 was later demonstrated to be a glutamate transporter (1) specific to glutamatergic neurons (3). Closely related to VGLUT1, VGLUT2 and VGLUT3 are also involved in glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles, but define different neuronal subpopulations (4,5). VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 are the most abundant isoforms. VGLUT1 is expressed in the cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellar cortex, while VGLUT2 is mostly found in the thalamus (6,7). VGLUT3 is expressed in hair cells of the auditory system (8).
