Anti-Valproic Acid Antibody (16802)

Valproic acid conjugated to KLH.

This monoclonal antibody is formulated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein or preservatives added.

Liquid

Antibodies are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.

Upon initial thawing, appropriately aliquot and store at -80°C. For long-term storage, keep at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody specific to Valproic Acid

Valproic acid is primarily used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder and to prevent migraine headaches. It has recently been shown to protect against a seizure induced reduction in phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate (PIP3) as a potential therapeutic mechanism. In addition, its anticonvulsant effect has been attributed to the blockade of voltage dependent sodium channels and increased brain levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Valproic acid was first made in 1881 and came into medical use in 1962. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.
