Gene Information

human ... GRIN2A(2903)

Specificity

Western blot analysis of transfected cells shows the antibody recognizes both NR2A and NR2B subunits equally. There may be a very slight recognition of NR2C and NR2D. Western blot analysis of rat brain shows a single band comigrating with NMDAR2A and NMDAR2B expressed in transfected cells. AB1548 has also been used effectively in Western blot of the membrane fraction of rabbit cortex and avian brain homogenates. No cross-reaction is seen with NMDAR1 or other glutamate receptor subunits.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide (LNSCSNRRVYKKMPSIESDV) corresponding to the C-terminus of rat NMDAR2A receptor subunit conjugated to BSA.

Application

Anti-NMDAR2A&B Antibody, pan detects level of NMDAR2A&B & has been published & validated for use in IH(P), IC, IH, IP & WB.

Western blot analysis can be done at final concentrations of 0.25-0.5 μg/mL; recognizes a single band in membrane preparations of rat hippocampal neurons ~170,000-180,000 under reduced, SDS PAGE. AB1548 can be used for immunocytochemistry using 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 recommended are 0.5-1.0 μg/mL.

The antibody can be used for immunopreciptation of detergent solubilized receptor from brain or transfected cells. For most cases 5 μg of antibody is used with immobilized Protein A.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified using the immunogen peptide. Lyophilized from PBS containing 1% BSA.



Note: lot 0509010940 was shipped in liquid format; Do NOT add additional water to this lot of material.

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at 2-8°C or -20°C. 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. Avoid repeated thawing and refreezing. Diluted antibody containing 0.1% sodium azide for Western blot analysis can be stored for several weeks and reused repeatedly.

In the rodent olfactory bulb the smooth dendrites of the principal glutamatergic mitral cells (MCs) form reciprocal dendrodendritic synapses with large spines on GABAergic granule cells (GC), where unitary release of glutamate can trigger postsynaptic local activation of voltage-gated Na+-channels

The NMDA subtype of glutamate receptors (NMDAR) at excitatory neuronal synapses plays a key role in synaptic plasticity. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1,2 or ERK) pathway is an essential component of NMDAR signal transduction controlling the neuroplasticity underlying memory processes

The efficient knock-in of large DNA fragments to label endogenous proteins remains especially challenging in non-dividing cells such as neurons. We developed Targeted Knock-In with Two (TKIT) guides as a novel CRISPR/Cas9 based approach for efficient, and precise, genomic knock-in.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
