mGluR1-alpha protein - 191-0P

mGluRs are metabotropic glutamate receptors involved in excitatory neurotransmission
control protein
Cat. No.: 191-0P
Amount: 100 µg
Price: $105.00
Cat. No. 191-0P 100 µg protein, lyophilized. For reconstitution add 100 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in TBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Control proteins should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!
Applications
 
Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to AA 1091 to 1199 from mouse mGluR1-α (UniProt Id: P97772)
Recommended dilution Optimal concentrations should be determined by the end-user.
Matching antibodies 191 002
Remarks

This control protein consists of the recombinant protein (aa 1092 - 1199 in mouse mGluR1) that has been used for immunization. It has been tested in preadsorption experiments and blocks efficiently and specifically the corresponding signal in Western blots. The amount of protein needed for efficient blocking depends on the titer and on the affinity of the antibody to the antigen.

Background

Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate nervous system and regulates a number of cellular signaling pathways. In addition to the ionotropic glutamate receptors of the NMDA, AMPA and kainate type, eight metabotropic receptors (mGluR1 - 8) have been described so far (1). This receptor family can be subdivided into three groups (2): Group I receptors (mGluR1, mGluR5) are activated by dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) (3), group II receptors (mGluR2, mGluR3) by dicarboxycyclopropylglycine (DCG-IV), and group III receptors (mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7, mGluR8) by aminophosphonobutyrate (L-AP4) (4).
