GRIN2B antibody (C-Term)

Catalog No. ABIN361395

Product Details anti-GRIN2B Antibody

Target: GRIN2B (Glutamate Receptor, Ionotropic, N-Methyl D-Aspartate 2B (GRIN2B))

Binding Specificity: C-Term

Reactivity: Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This GRIN2B antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP)

Specificity: Specific for the ~180k NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor. Recognizes human, mouse and rat forms of the NR2B subunits of NMDAR. Immunolabeling is blocked by pre-adsorption of antibody with the fusion protein used to generate the antibody. No reactivity towards the NR2A and NR2C subunits.

Cross-Reactivity: Human, Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus)

Purification: Antigen Affinity Purified from Pooled Serum

Immunogen: Fusion protein from the C-terminal region of the NR2B subunit

Application Details

Application Notes: Recommended Dilution: WB: 1:1000 IHC (frozen sections, unpublished observations): 1:1000 to 1:2000 IP: 3 µl per 200 µg lysate Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Buffer: Lyophilized

Background: The ion channels activated by glutamate 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 rat NMDAR1 (NR1) was the first subunit of the NMDAR to be clonedand it 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. Overexpression of the NR2B-subunit of the NMDA receptor has been associated with increases in learning and memory while aged, memory impaired animals have deficiencies in NR2B expression (Clayton et al., 2002a, Clayton et al., 2002b). The NMDAR is also potentiated by protein phosphorylation (Lu et al., 1999).
