Specificity

Clone RH95 is a ZooMAb mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1). It targets an epitope within the N-terminal region.

Immunogen

Thyroglobulin-conjugated linear peptide from the N-terminal region of rat Glutamate receptor 1.

Application

Anti-GluR1, clone RH95 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZMS1007, is a recombinant Mouse monoclonal antibody that specifically targets GluR1 and is tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:10,000 dilution from a representative lot detected GluR1 in Mouse Brain tissue lysate.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected GluR1 in rat brain tissue sections.

Immunofluorescence Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected GluR1 in rat brain tissue sections.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected GluR1 in rat E18 cortical cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Target description

Glutamate receptor 1 (UniProt: P19490; also known as GluR-1, AMPA-selective glutamate receptor 1, GluR-A, GluR-K1, Glutamate receptor ionotropic, AMPA 1, GluA1) is encoded by the Gria1 (also known as Glur1) gene (Gene ID: 50592) in rat. Four different AMPA receptors have been described and are designated as GluR1, GluR2, GluR3, and GluR4. These receptors mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain and are involved in multiple brain functions, including cognition, movement, learning, and memory. Each of the AMPA receptor subunit can exist in either ′flip′ or ′flop′ form and the efficacy of glutamate is believed to be higher at the ′flip′ form. The binding site on this receptor is formed by the N-terminal tail and the extracellular loop between transmembrane domains three and four. Upon agonist binding, these two loops move towards each other, which opens the pore.Glu-R1 is a multi-pass membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-18), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature protein that contains to extracellular domains, four transmembrane domains, and two cytoplasmic domains. It is widely expressed throughout the nervous system and can exist in homotetrameric or heterotetrameric form. Tetramers may be formed by the dimerization of dimers. GluR-1 has several phosphorylation sites on the intracellular carboxy terminus. Many of these sites play a role in receptor regulation and synaptic plasticity. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
