Features

VGLUT1 Recombinant Alpaca VHH (SdAb2412.VGLUT1) recognizes the vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1) expressed during neurotransmission. This high-affinity single-domain antibody (SdAb), also known as camelid VHH or Nanobody®, is part of our MiniMab™ series of highly optimized conjugated probes. The SdAb has been validated for immunofluorescence microscopy and is available conjugated to CF® Dyes.

Features of MiniMab™ single-domain antibodies

  • Superior to conventional antibodies: deeper tissue penetration, higher solubility and stability, and faster staining
  • Minimal epitope-dye displacement—perfect for super-resolution imaging
  • Specifically developed and optimized for immunofluorescence
  • Labelled with bright, photostable CF® Dyes, including near-infrared CF®740 option
  • Available as conjugates with Biotium’s best-in-class dyes for STORM

VGLUT1 is mainly found on synaptic vesicles at glutamatergic synapses, where it uses the proton gradient generated by vesicular ATPase to load glutamate into vesicles before their fusion with the plasma membrane and neurotransmitter release into the synaptic cleft.

This recombinant alpaca VHH binds strongly and specifically to the cytoplasmic region of rat and mouse VGLUT1 and is expected to also recognize human VGLUT1 due to high sequence similarity.
