AHP986 is specific for glutamate receptor subunit 2 (GluR2), a component of the AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxalone propionic acid) group of ionotropic glutamate receptors, which play a key role at excitatory synapses, including synaptic transmission, stabilisation and plasticity.
GluR2 is possibly the most important of the AMPA receptor subunits, responsible for AMPA receptor rectifying properties, control of ion flow and in particular the influx of calcium. The majority of GluR2 in the CNS is expressed in the GluR2(R) form, containing a critical arginine residue (as opposed to a glutamine residue) in the Transmembrane region 2 (TM2) domain, thereby rendering native AMPA receptors impermeable to calcium.

Where this antibody 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 antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP986 detects a band of approximately 100 kDa in rat brain hippocampus cell lysates.
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
12 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to rat GluR2 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
