Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal extracellular domain of human metabotropic glutamate receptor 4, conjugated to KLH. The immunizing peptide has 100% homology with the rat gene and 89% homology with the mouse gene.

Application

Anti-Glutamate Receptor 4, Metabotropic antibody is suitable for immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections) at a concentration of 3μg/mL using human neurons, cortex.

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, pH 7.7, containing 0.01% sodium azide.

Following the molecular cloning in the early 1990s of the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlu1-8), research that focused on the physiology, pharmacology and function of these receptors revealed their potential role in CNS disorders. Numerous psychiatric and neurological dis-orders are indeed

Metabotropic glutamate receptors of the mGlu(1) and mGlu(5) subtypes exhibit a high degree of sequence homology and are both coupled to phospholipase C and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization. However, functional differences have been detected for these receptor subtypes when they are

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are a family of proteins that have seven transmembrane segments and that couple to G proteins. They differ from ionotropic glutamate receptors in that they do not form ion channels but instead affect intracellular chemical messenger

Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. For many years it has been considered to act only on ligand-gated receptor channels--termed NMDA, AMPA and kainate receptors--involved in the fast excitatory synaptic transmission. Recently, glutamate has been shown to
Peter J Flor et al.
Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 513, 197-223 (2003-02-11)
Metabotropic glutamate receptors form a family of currently eight subtypes (mGluR1-8), subdivided into three groups (I-III). Activation of group-II (mGluR2 and -3) or group-III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR4, -6, -7 and -8) has been established to be neuroprotective in vitro
