| Short Description : | Rabbit polyclonal anti-VACHT for use in IHC and WB in Human, Mouse, Rat and Marmoset samples. Datasheet included with dilution recommendations, and related reagents. |
| Clonality : | Polyclonal |
| Conjugation: | Unconjugated |
| Isotype: | IgG |
| Formulation: | Lyophilised |
| Purification: | IgG purified |
| Dilution Range: | IHC, WB. A dilution of 1: 2000 is recommended for WB and to 1:1000 for IHC-P. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications. |
| Storage Instruction: | Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at-20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles. |
| Gene Symbol: | SLC18A3 |
| Gene ID: | 6572 |
| Uniprot ID: | VACHT_HUMAN |
| Specificity: | Specific for VACHT. |
| Immunogen: | A synthetic peptide from human VACHT conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The antigen is homologous in rat and mouse. |
| Function | Electrogenic antiporter that exchanges one cholinergic neurotransmitter, acetylcholine or choline, with two intravesicular protons across the membrane of synaptic vesicles. Uses the electrochemical proton gradient established by the V-type proton-pump ATPase to store neurotransmitters inside the vesicles prior to their release via exocytosis. Determines cholinergic vesicular quantal size at presynaptic nerve terminals in developing neuro-muscular junctions with an impact on motor neuron differentiation and innervation pattern. Part of forebrain cholinergic system, regulates hippocampal synapse transmissions that underlie spatial memory formation. Can transport serotonin. |
