Cytoplasmic expression in several tissues, most abundant in CNS.
ANTIBODY IHC RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly not consistent with RNA expression data. Secreted protein, tissue location of RNA and protein might differ and correlation is complex.
Most cancer tissues displayed weak cytoplasmic positivity often with additional membranous staining or were negative. Hepatocellular carcinomas showed moderate to strong positivity. Several cases of Lung cancer and malignant melanoma were moderately stained.
GENE INFORMATION

Description
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) B receptor, 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. GABA exerts its effects through ionotropic [GABA(A/C)] receptors, to produce fast synaptic inhibition, and metabotropic [GABA(B)] receptors, to produce slow, prolonged inhibitory signals. The GABA(B) receptor consists of a heterodimer of two related 7-transmembrane receptors, GABA(B) receptor 1 and GABA(B) receptor 2. The GABA(B) receptor 1 gene is mapped to chromosome 6p21.3 within the HLA class I region close to the HLA-F gene. Susceptibility loci for multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and schizophrenia have also been mapped in this region. Alternative splicing of this gene generates multiple transcript variants.
