Immunogen

synthetic peptide representing the sequence of the C1 splice variant.

Application

Anti-Glutamate Receptor NMDAR1 (NR1) (Splice Variant Insert C1) antibody is suitable for immunohistochemistry (frozen sections) at a dilution of 1:1000-1:2000 and western blot at 1:1000 dilution using rat and mouse tissue.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NMDA receptors (NMDAR) are glutamate-gated ion channels. It is sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and consists of several homologous subunits (NMDAR1). NMDAR is highly expressed in the central nervous system and involved in excitatory synaptic transmission as well as synaptic plasticity. The activity of NMDA receptors are modulated by glycine. It exhibits high calcium permeability and unique voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. It has been reported that phosphorylated NMDA receptors may regulate their function and play a role in many forms of synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder from 5 mM ammonium bicarbonate, so some residual salt may be present
