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 does not react with other splice variants or mGluR5.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence of amino acids 1116-1130 of rat metabotropic glutamate receptor 1A (mGluR1a).

Application

Anti-Glutamate Receptor 1A, Metabotropic (mGluR1A) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for use as a primary antibody at a working dilution of 1:1500 using extracts from mouse brain It is suitable for immunohistochemistry at a working dilution of 1:500 and for immunoblotting at a working dilution of 1:1000.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutamate Receptor 1 is a G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. The role of the metabotropic receptors in pain and pathology is being studied for therapeutic potential. Glutamate receptors are important mediators of excitatory amino acid neurotransmission. The α isomer of this receptor is a disulfide-linked homodimer and its activity is mediated by a G-protein-coupled phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Mutations in this gene causes autosomal-recessive congenital cerebellar ataxia.

Neuronal plasticity underlying cerebellar learning behavior is strongly associated with type 1 metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR1) signaling. Activation of mGluR1 leads to activation of the Gq/11 pathway, which is involved in inducing synaptic plasticity at the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapse

The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate induces modulatory actions via the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus), which are class C G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We determined the structure of the human mGlu1 receptor seven-transmembrane (7TM) domain bound to a negative allosteric modulator, FITM

In vivo, homozygous staggerer (Rora(sg/sg)) Purkinje cells (PCs) remain in an early stage of development with rudimentary spineless dendrites, associated with a lack of parallel fiber (PF) input and the persistence of multiple climbing fibers (CFs). In this immunocytochemical study

We cloned and expressed a human metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 alpha (HmGluR1 alpha) in a novel cell line. The human mGluR1 alpha cDNA was found to be 86% identical to rat mGluR1 alpha, and the predicted protein sequence was found

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is an immediate-early gene important for regulating physiological processes like synaptic plasticity and neurovascular coupling. It has also been implicated in several pathological processes including blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, seizure progression, and stroke. These varied reports
