General description
Glutamate receptors (GluRs) can be categorized as ionotropic or metabotropic and subcategorized by their agonist preferences (NMDA, AMPA or Kainic acid). There are four types of AMPA selective GluR subunits (GluR1, GluR2, GluR3 and GluR4). Tetrameric or pentameric combinations of different subunits contributes to the functional diversity of AMPA receptors. In general, AMPA receptors mediate fast synaptic current at most excitatory synapses, with stoichiometry characterized by subtype composition.
Specificity
Expected to cross-react with human, rat, monkey, gerbil, guinea pig, and hamster.
It recognizes both GluR2 and GluR3 which have nearly identical carboxy terminal sequences. Western blot analysis of rat brain shows two poorly separated bands which comigrate with GluR2 and GluR3 expressed in transfected cells. GluR2 migrates slightly ahead of GluR3. No cross-reaction with GluR1 or GluR4. The antibody appears to recognize GluR 2 & 3 in several other species, but has not been extensively characterized in these cases.
Immunogen
Carboxy terminus peptide of rat GluR2 conjugated to BSA with glutaraldehyde (EGYNVYGIESVKI).
Epitope: C-terminus
Application
Immunohistochemistry:
A previous lot was used on paraformaldehyde or paraformaldehyde/glutaraldehyde fixed tissue with light and electron microscopy. Cryostat and vibratome sections can be used with or without Triton X-100 treatment. Final concentrations used were 1-3 µg/mL.
Immunoprecipitation:
When linked to immobilized Protein A, a previous lot of this antibody immunoprecipitated detergent-solubilized receptor from brain or transfected cells.

Physical form
ImmunoAffinity Purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal serum lyophilized from buffer containing 0.01M phosphate, 0.09M NaCl, pH 7.2. 1% BSA and 0.1% sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
Maintain lyophilized material at +2-8°C or -20°C for up to 6 months after date of receipt.
Reconstitute to 500 μL with sterile distilled water. Store reconstituted material frozen (-20°C or -80°C) in undiluted aliquots for up to six months. Diluted antibody containing 0.1% sodium azide for Western blot analysis can be stored for several weeks at +2-8°C and reused repeatedly.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.

The distribution of zinc-rich synaptic boutons in biopsies of the temporal cortex from epileptic patients who had undergone surgery is described. Unfixed cryostat sections were exposed to H(2)S vapour to precipitate endogenous zinc, which was subsequently shown by silver enhancement.

We have examined the distribution of dopamine neurons expressing alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptor subunits (glutamate receptors 1, 2/3 and 4) in the A8-A15 regions of the rat brain using double immunofluorescence.
