VMAT2 (Cat #: AA132)
Rabbit polyclonal antibody to VMAT2
VMAT2 IHC image in human brainImmunohistochemical detection of VMAT2 in neurons in formalin fixed human brain cortex. 10 μm paraffin-embedded tissue sections were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antibody to VMAT2 at 10 μg/mL overnight at 4°C followed by HRP/AEC detection (red) and counterstaining with hematoxylin (blue).

Formulation Lyophilized powder
Purification Affinity purified
Host Species Rabbit
Unit Size: 50 µg
Immunogen Synthetic peptide
Sequence: NATRDLTLHQTATQHMVTNASAVPSDCPSEDKDLLNENVQVGLLFASKAT
Alternative Names Solute carrier family 18 member 2, Vesicular amine transporter 2 (VAT2)
Accession Number: Q05940
Gene Symbol SLC18A2,SVMT, VMAT2
Accession URL: http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q05940
Function:
This is a cytoplasmic vesicle membrane multi-pass membrane protein which belongs to the vesicular transporter family. The vesicular monoamine transporter 2 is nvolved in the ATP-dependent vesicular transport of biogenic amine neurotransmitters into synaptic vesicles: dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine. Provides vesicular amine storage prior to secretion via exocytosis..
Applications: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Western Blotting (WB).
Working Dilution for Immunofluorescence (ICC): 5 – 15 µg/mL
Working Dilution for Immunohistochemistry (IHC): 5 – 10 µg/mL
Working Dilution for Western Blottin (WB): 1 µg/mL
IHC Positive control: Human brain cortex.
Specificity: Confirmed by WB.
Cross-reactivity: Human, mouse, rat, bovine
Reconstitution: Reconstitute in 0.05 mL of PBS (pH 7.4) to achieve an antibody concentration of 1000 µg/mL. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Storage / Stability: At least 12 months after purchase at 2 - 4°C. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability and at 4°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
