General description

Glutamate receptors (GluRs) are a diverse group responsible for mediating most of the excitatory synaptic transmission in the CNS of vertebrates. They can be categorized as ionotropic or metabotropic and subcategorized by their agonist preferences (NMDA, AMPA or Kainic acid). There are four types of AMPA selective GluR subunits (GluR1, GluR2, GluR3 and GluR4). Tetrameric or pentameric combinations of different subunits contributes to the functional diversity of AMPA receptors. AMPA receptors mediate fast synaptic current at most excitatory synapses, with stoichiometry characterized by subtype composition. The critical residue controlling calcium permeability is in the pore loop region. In GluR1, GluR3, and GluR4, this position is occupied by a Gln residue. The insertion or removal of GluR1/GluR4 oligomeric channels from postsynaptic membranes appears to be LTP/LTD activity dependent while GluR2/GluR3 oligomers are continuously cycling.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the extracellular domain of GluR1.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the extracellular domain of rat GluR1.

Application

Anti-GluR1 Antibody is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody, that targets GluR1 & has been tested in western blotting & IHC (Paraffin).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected GluR1 in human brain and human cerebellum tissue.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in rat brain tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 2.0 µg/mL of this antibody detected GluR1 in 10 µg of rat brain tissue lysate.

Neuronal activity-induced changes in gene expression patterns are important mediators of neuronal plasticity. Many neuronal genes can be activated or inactivated in response to neuronal depolarization. Mechanisms that activate gene transcription are well established, but activity-dependent mechanisms that silence transcription

Neuronal information processing requires multiple forms of synaptic plasticity mediated by NMDARs and AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs). These plasticity mechanisms include long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), which are Hebbian, homosynaptic mechanisms locally regulating synaptic strength of specific inputs
