Designing a Western blot for GABRB3? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the GABRB3 Western Blot GuideFacts about Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit beta-3.
Functions as receptor for diazepines and various anesthetics, such as pentobarbital; these are bound at a separate allosteric effector binding site. Functions as ligand- gated chloride channel.
