General description

Glutamate is a widely utilized excitatory neurotransmitter in mammalian brain. The ion channels activated by glutamate are typically divided into two classes. Those that are sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) are designated NMDA receptors (NMDAR) while those activated by kainate (KA) and a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxalone propionic acid (AMPA) are referred to as non-NMDA receptors. Two distinct genes encode the NMDA receptor subunits, NR1 and NR2. The NR1 subunit is expressed in abundance in virtually all regions of the brain.

Specificity

Recognizes an epitope between amino acids 660-811 of the NMDAR1 receptor. Shows no cross-reactivity with NMDAR2, NMDAR3, NMDAR4 or NMDAR5.

Immunogen

Epitope: Extracellular loop between transmembrane regions III & IV.
Recombinant fusion protein containing GST and NMDAR1 aa. 660-811.

Application

Anti-NMDAR1 Antibody, clone 54.1 is an antibody against NMDAR1 for use in ELISA, IC, IH, IH(P), RIA.
Immunocytochemistry:
A previous lot of this antibody was used in IC.

RIA:
A previous lot of this antibody was used in RIA.

ELISA:
A previous lot of this antibody was used in ELISA.

Immunohistochemistry: 1:500-2000, on 2-4% paraformaldehyde fixed tissue: typically free-floating, frozen or vibratome sections 24-48 hours at 4°C. Paraffin embedded formalin fixed sections have also been used at similar dilutions and incubation times. Care should be taken not to over fix the tissues. The clone 54.1 has been used for both light and electron microscopy.

Western blot:
1:500 with 50 migrograms/lane of material. Recognizes a 103-116kDa band.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
