Gene Name:4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase
Gene Definition:Homo sapiens, 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, mRNA (cDNA clone IMAGE:4156159), complete cds.
Gene Symbol:ABAT
Summary:4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The protein sequence is over 95% similar to the pig protein. GABA is estimated to be present in nearly one-third of human synapses. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene.

Disclaimer:
Invitrogen™ Corporation provides an evolving clone collection where each gene represented is identified as containing a complete open reading frame, based on a dynamic source of bioinformatic information contained within GenBank. GenBank is a genetic sequence database, which contains an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences.

Ultimate™ ORF Clones are typically derived from cDNA clones believed to contain a complete open reading frame, according to the most current GenBank update. Please note, subsequent GenBank updates may show some of these cDNA clones to contain a partial sequence, a non-coding sequence or other artifacts.

Quarterly, Invitrogen™ Corporation will update the Ultimate™ ORF Clone Collection, by adding, deleting, or modifying the bioinformatic information to more accurately reflect the most current scientific information associated with each of the clones represented in the collection.

It is highly recommended that the purchaser carefully evaluate the ORF clone sequence prior to purchase. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to check whether the sequence associated with any particular clone meets his/her scientific requirement prior to purchase.

Invitrogen makes no warranties, express or implied, that the manufacture, use, importation, or sale of the gene contained within any Ultimate™ ORF clone will not infringe any third party intellectual property right.
