General description

The metabotropic glutamate receptors consist of eight subtypes (mGluR1-8) divided into three groups (I-III). Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. It acts on ligand-gated receptor channels, termed NMDA, AMPA and kainate receptors, involved in the fast excitatory synaptic transmission. Glutamate also regulates ion channels and enzymes producing second messengers via specific receptors coupled to G-proteins, called metabotropic glutamate receptors.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the C-terminal sequence shared by metabotropic glutamate receptors 2 and 3.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region (13 amino acids) of mGluR2/3.

Application

Anti-Glutamate Receptor 2/3, Metabotropic (mGluR2/3) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunohistochemistry and indirect immunofluorescence at a working dilution of 1:500. It is suitable for immunoprecipitation at 1:100 and for immunoblotting at 1:1000 working dilution.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GRM2 and GRM3 belong to group II receptors and are involved in the inhibition of the cyclic AMP cascade. The role of the metabotropic receptors in pain and pathology is being studied for therapeutic potential. Glutamate receptors are key regulators of excitatory amino acid neurotransmission in the striatum.

Physical form

Solution in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100μg/mL BSA, and 50% glycerol.

Metabotropic glutamate receptors are important mediators of excitatory amino acid neurotransmission in the striatum. Two-color immunofluorescence histochemistry and immunohistochemistry in combination with retrograde tract-tracing techniques were used to examine the distribution of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypes 1a and 5 (mGluR1a
