Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal extracellular domain of human metabotropic glutamate receptor 3, conjugated to KLH. The immunizing peptide has 100% homology with the rat and mouse gene.

Application

Anti-Glutamate Receptor 3, Metabotropic antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for:
  • western blot analysis of mouse somatosensory cortex to examine the connexin 36 (Cx36) protein expression and electrotonic coupling incidence.
  • western blot analysis of rat hypothalamus to study the Cx36 expression.
  • immunocytochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections) at a concentration of 38μg/mL using human brain, neurons and glia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutamate, the excitatory neurotransmitter, is involved in fast excitatory synaptic transmission. It acts on ligand-gated receptor channels, termed NMDA, AMPA and kainate receptors. The metabotropic form consist of eight subtypes (mGluR1-8) divided into three groups (I-III). Group I binds to phospholipase C and intracellular calcium mobilization, whereas both groups II and III inhibit adenyl cyclase. The metabotropic receptors have some therapeutic potentials. Group I receptors have been implicated in post-ischemic neuronal injury, and antagonists of group I appear to have a neuroprotective effect.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline, containing 0.1% sodium azide.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors type 3 (mGlu3, encoded by GRM3) are increasingly related to cognitive functioning, including the working memory operations of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). In rhesus monkeys, mGlu3 are most commonly expressed on glia (36%), but are also very

Coupling of neurons by electrical synapses (gap junctions) transiently increases in the mammalian CNS during development. We report here that the developmental increase in neuronal gap junction coupling and expression of connexin 36 (Cx36; neuronal gap junction protein) are regulated

In the mammalian CNS, excessive release of glutamate and overactivation of glutamate receptors are responsible for the secondary (delayed) neuronal death following neuronal injury, including ischemia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and epilepsy. The coupling of neurons by gap junctions (electrical
