Specificity

Stargazin [Stargazin-like TARP (transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein)]. By Western blot the antibody recognizes bands at ~35 kDa and ~55 kDa on Triton soluble fraction of rat brain. The antibody reacts dominantly with TARP gamma-8 and weakly with gamma-3 and gamma-4. Stargazin is expressed strongly in the hippocampus and cerebellum.

Immunogen

GST fusion protein from rat stargazin, cytoplasmic domain.

The anterior thalamus (AT) is critical for memory formation, processing navigational information, and seizure initiation. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate synaptic function of AT neurons remain largely unexplored. We report that AMPA receptor auxiliary subunit GSG1L controls short-term plasticity

AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission and predominantly assemble as heterotetramers in the brain. Recently, the crystal structures of homotetrameric GluA2 demonstrated that AMPARs are assembled with two pairs of conformationally distinct subunits, in a dimer of dimers
