Our Anti-GluR2 rabbit polyclonal primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects rat GluR2 and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB.
Western blot of a rat hippocampal lysate showing the specific immunolabeling of the ~100 kDa GluR2 protein.
The ion channels activated by glutamate are typically divided into two classes. Those that are sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) are designated NMDA receptors (NMDAR) while those activated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxalone propionic acid (AMPA) are known as AMPA receptors (AMPAR). The AMPAR are comprised of four distinct glutamate receptor subunits designated (GluR1-4) and they play key roles in virtually all excitatory neurotransmission in the brain (Keinänen et al., 1990;Hollmann and Heinemann, 1994). The GluR2 subunit is thought to play a key role in forms of synaptic plasticity such as LTD (Chung et al., 2003).

IgG
WB
Rabbit
GRIA2
100 kDa
Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues specific to GluR2, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).
Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
Liquid
Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification using a column to which the peptide immunogen was coupled.
10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.
WB: 1:1000
WB Brain: 1:1000
Unconjugated
Specific for endogenous levels of the ~100 kDa GluR2 protein.
