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.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal extracellular domain of human metabotropic glutamate receptor 7, conjugate to KLH. The immunizing peptide has 100% homology with the rat gene and 95% homology with the mouse gene.
Application
Anti-Glutamate Receptor 7, Metabotropic antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunohistochemistry using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of human brain, neurons.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glutamate Receptor 7 belongs to group III and inhibits adenyl cyclase. The role of the metabotropic receptors in pain and pathology is being studied for therapeutic potential. Activation of Group III receptors has been shown to be neuroprotective. Glutamate receptors are important mediators of excitatory amino acid neurotransmission.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline, containing 0.1% sodium azide.

We have used an in vitro trauma model to examine the effects of modulation of group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) on post-traumatic neuronal cell death. Rat cortical neuronal/glial cultures were subjected to standardized mechanical injury using a punch that

Activation of group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7, and mGluR8) has been established to be neuroprotective in vitro and in vivo. To disclose the identity of the receptor subtype(s) that exert(s) the protective effect, we have used group

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

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

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
