Applications
Application ReferencesImmunofluorescence Cottrell, J.R. 2004. Neuron 44, 677.
Key Applications Immunoblotting (Western Blotting)
Immunofluorescence
Application NotesImmunoblotting 1-5 µg/ml)
Immunofluorescence (10-20 µg/ml, see application references)
Application CommentsAlso recognizes a smaller band at ~50 kDa using whole brain extracts. Immunofluorescence of dissociated cultured rat hippocampal neurons gave a punctate distribution, consistent with previous reports of GluR1 distribution. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

DescriptionPurified rabbit polyclonal antibody. Recognizes the ~105-107 kDa GluR1 protein.
BackgroundGlutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Precise regulation of glutamate levels are necessary as excess glutamate is toxic to neurons, presumably through receptor activation which leads to elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels. Multiple glutamate receptors have been identified in the mammalian brain, including the ligand-gated ion channels (ionotropic glutamate receptors) which are permeable to cations. These receptors have been classified into multiple subtypes based upon pharmacological and electrophysiological data, and includes the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxaxole propionate (AMPA)/kainate, and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. The ligand-gated glutamate receptors are multimeric heteromers composed of distinct subunits. Another subfamily of glutamate receptors includes eight G protein-coupled metabotropic glutamate receptors. The delta receptors are believed to represent another class of ionotropic glutamate receptors, although glutamate binding and ion channel activity remain to be demonstrated. Glutamate receptors likely play a key role in learning and memory, and it has been proposed that several neurodegenerative diseases may involve neural cell death caused by excessive activation of the glutamate receptors.
