Description | Anti-mGluR5/1a antibody is directed against GluR5/1a. GluR5/1a antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of antibody with the peptide used as antigen to generate the antibody. The antibody is a total IgG fraction. Expect reactivity with the following species based on sequence homology: human, mouse, rat. Cross reactivity with mGluR5/1a from other species has not been determined. mGluR5/1a antibody detects GluR5/1a protein. The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are key receptors in the modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. They are implicated in many forms of neural plasticity as well as learning and memory and drug abuse. Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (consisting of mGluR1 and mGluR5) are G-protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors that are localized in the perisynaptic region of the postsynaptic membrane. When activated, Group I mGluRs lead to stimulation of phospholipase and activation of Protein Kinase C. In contrast, activation of Group II metabotropic receptors (mGluR2 and mGluR3) leads to inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The mGluR1 receptor may also be critically involved in limiting the deleterious effects of excitotoxicity. In contrast, the mGluR5 receptor appears to be essential for late phase LTP in area CA1 of the hippocampus. mGluR5/1a is ideal for investigators involved neuronal circuitry and more generally in Neuroscience. |
