Product Specific Information
Reconstitution: 25 µL, 50 µL or 0.2 mL double distilled water (DDW), depending on the sample size. The antibody ships as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon arrival, it should be stored at -20C. The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4C, protected from the light, for up to 1 week. For longer periods, small aliquots should be stored at -20C. Avoid multiple freezing and thawing. Centrifuge all antibody preparations before use (10000 X g 5 min).
Target Information
VMAT2 is involved in the ATP-dependent vesicular transport of biogenic amine neurotransmitters. pumps cytosolic monoamines including dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine into synaptic vesicles. It is a requisite for vesicular amine storage prior to secretion via exocytosis.
