Novus Biologicals Announces VMAT2 Antibody Made Using SDIX Genomic Antibodies™
Littleton, CO, August 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Novus Biologicals announced today a new VMAT2 antibody (NBP1-69750) for use in neurotransmission research. This VMAT2 antibody was made using SDIX Genomic Antibody TechnologyTM (GATTM).
VMAT2 is a multipass membrane protein responsible for vesicular transport of neurotransmitters by pumping cytosolic monoamines (ie. dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine) into synaptic vesicles. Improper VMAT2 function has been linked to several neuropsychiatric disorders.
The new VMAT2 antibody has been validated for use in immunohistochemistry and Western blot staining on human and mouse samples, and will therefore prove to be a useful tool for neuroscience researchers.
SDIX GATTM uses sophisticated bioinformatics and immunization strategies to produce high-quality antibodies that specifically bind to targeted regions of the protein in its naturally folded form. The ability of an antibody to recognize a protein’s naturally folded state enables its utility in high-value applications like sandwich immunoassay, ChIP, and flow cytometry.
