AHP1871 recognises rat metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a (mGluR1a). The metabotropic glutamate receptors have been organised into three groups. mGluR5 and mGluR1 make up group I which, when activated, stimulates phospholipase C and activates protein kinase C to hydrolyse phosphoinositide phospholipids in the cell membrane. Group I mGluRs, but not other groups, are activated by 3, 5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG).

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP1871 detects bands of approximately 125kDa (monomer) and 250kDa (dimer) on lysate from transfected HEK293 cells.
This antibody has also been reported to detect bands at approximately 120kDa (reduced) and 210kD (non-reduced), in protein extracts from adult rat cerebellum.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to metabotropic glutamate receptor 1a were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
