Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser268 of human Gephyrin protein.

Background

The neurotransmitters GABA and glycine activate ligand-gated chloride channels and thus mediate fast synaptic inhibition. Gephyrin is a postsynaptic, scaffolding protein anchoring type A GABA and glycine receptors to the cytoskeleton. In addition to gephyrin’s function of clustering synaptic neurotransmitter receptors, it plays an essential role in the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo). Molybdenum cofactor chelates and activates sulfite oxidase, an enzyme crucial for survival (1). GSK-3β and Erk1/2 phosphorylate gephyrin at residue Ser270 and Ser268, respectively. These post-translational modifications alter the clustering of gephyrin, affecting the amplitude and frequency of GABAergic inhibitory currents (2,3). Researchers are analyzing the role of abnormal gephyrin clustering and function in major neurological, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric disorders (1). Abnormal accumulations of gephyrin are highly correlated with the neuropathologic diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (4).
