Target description
Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 2A (UniProt: Q12879; also known as GluN2A, Glutamate [NMDA] receptor subunit epsilon-1, N-methyl D-aspartate receptor subtype 2A, NMDAR2A, NR2A, hNR2A) is encoded by the GRIN2A (also known as NMDAR2A) gene (Gene ID: 2903) in human. NMDA receptor complexes are ligand-gated ion channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. They are involved in long-term potentiation and neuronal plasticity and regulate the number of nerve cells during development. However, over-stimulation NMDA receptors can lead to neuronal degeneration. NMDAR2A is a multi-pass membrane protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-22), which is subsequently cleaved off. NMDAR2A exists as a heterotetramer and the heterotetrameric channels are composed of two zeta subunits (GRIN1), and two epsilon subunits (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C or GRIN2D) (in vitro). It can also form heterotetrameric channels that contain at least one zeta subunit (GRIN1), at least one epsilon subunit, plus GRIN3A or GRIN3B. In vivo, the subunit composition may depend on the expression levels of the different subunits. These heterotetrameric, ligand-gated ion channels display with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Channel activation requires binding of the neurotransmitter glutamate to the epsilon subunit, glycine binding to the zeta subunit, plus membrane depolarization to eliminate channel inhibition by magnesium ions. It has been shown that channels containing GRIN1 and GRIN2A have higher sensitivity to glutamate and faster kinetics than channels formed by GRIN1 and GRIN2B. Mutations in GRIN2A gene are known to cause epilepsy, speech disorders, and mental retardation. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
Physical form
Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
Reconstitution
120 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
Storage and Stability
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
