NMDA NR2A Subunit (100 ul)

Scientific Background

The ion channels activated by glutamate are typically divided into two classes. Glutamate receptors that are activated by kainate and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxalone propionic acid (AMPA) are known as kainate/AMPA receptors (K/AMPAR). Those that are sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) are designated NMDA receptors (NMDAR). The NMDAR plays an essential role in memory, neuronal development and it has also been implicated in several disorders of the central nervous system including Alzheimer’s, epilepsy and ischemic neuronal cell death (Grosshans et al., 2002; Wenthold et al., 2003; Carroll and Zukin, 2002). The NMDA receptor is also one of the principal molecular targets for alcohol in the CNS (Lovinger et al., 1989; Alvestad et al., 2003; Snell et al., 1996). The NMDAR is also potentiated by protein phosphorylation (Lu et al., 1999). The rat NMDAR1 (NR1) was the first subunit of the NMDAR to be cloned. The NR1 protein can form NMDA activated channels when expressed in Xenopus oocytes but the currents in such channels are much smaller than those seen in situ. Channels with more physiological characteristics are produced when the NR1 subunit is combined with one or more of the NMDAR2 (NR2 A-D) subunits.

Storage

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.

Physical State

Liquid

Production Notes

Prepared from pooled rabbit serum by affinity purification using a column to which the fusion protein immunogen was coupled.

Buffer

10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Dilution Ranges

WB: 1:1000
WB Brain: 1:1000
IHC: 1:1000
IP: 3 µl per 200 µg lysate

Conjugate

Unconjugated

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~180 kDa NR2A subunit of the NMDA receptor. No reactivity towards the NR2B and NR2C subunits. Immunolabeling is blocked by pre-adsorption of antibody with the fusion protein used to generate the antibody.

Quality Control

Western blots performed on each lot.

UniProt Summary: Component of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) that function as heterotetrameric, ligand-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent block by Mg(2+) (PubMed:20890276, PubMed:23933818, PubMed:23933819, PubMed:23933820, PubMed:24504326, PubMed:26875626, PubMed:26919761, PubMed:28242877, PubMed:36117210, PubMed:38538865, PubMed:8768735). NMDARs participate in synaptic plasticity for learning and memory formation by contributing to the slow phase of excitatory postsynaptic current, long-term synaptic potentiation, and learning (By similarity). Channel activation requires binding of the neurotransmitter L-glutamate to the GluN2 subunit, glycine or D-serine binding to the GluN1 subunit, plus membrane depolarization to eliminate channel inhibition by Mg(2+) (PubMed:23933818, PubMed:23933819, PubMed:23933820, PubMed:24504326, PubMed:26875626, PubMed:26919761, PubMed:27288002, PubMed:28095420, PubMed:28105280, PubMed:28126851, PubMed:28182669, PubMed:29644724, PubMed:38307912, PubMed:8768735). NMDARs mediate simultaneously the potassium efflux and the influx of calcium and sodium (By similarity). Each GluN2 subunit confers differential attributes to channel properties, including activation, deactivation and desensitization kinetics, pH sensitivity, Ca2(+) permeability, and binding to allosteric modulators (PubMed:26875626, PubMed:26919761). Participates in the synaptic plasticity regulation through activation by the L-glutamate releaseed by BEST1, into the synaptic cleft, upon F2R/PAR-1 activation in astrocyte (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P35436, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P35438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20890276, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23933818, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23933819, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23933820, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24504326, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26875626, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26919761, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27288002, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28095420, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28105280, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28126851, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28182669, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28242877, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29644724, ECO:0000269|PubMed:36117210, ECO:0000269|PubMed:38307912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:38538865, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8768735}.
