Quick Overview for GRIN2B antibody (pSer1480) (ABIN372688)

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

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse, Dog, Cow, Chicken, Non-Human Primate, Xenopus laevis

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This GRIN2B antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB)

Product Details anti-GRIN2B Antibody

Binding Specificity: pSer1480

Specificity: This antibody recognizes the ~180k NMDAR NR2B subunit protein phosphorylated at Ser1480. Immunolabeling of the NMDA NR2B subunit band is blocked by the phosphopeptide used as the antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide. Immunolabeling is also blocked by lambda-phosphatase treatment.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Species reactivity (expected):Bovine, Canine, Chicken, Human, Mouse, non-Human Primates and Zebrafish.
Species reactivity (tested):Rat.

Purification: Sequential Chromatography on phospho- and dephosphopeptide affinity columns.

Immunogen: Phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding the phospho-Ser1480 of the NR2B subunit of the Rat NMDA Receptor.

Isotype: IgG

Target Details for GRIN2B

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

Alternative Name: NMDAR2B

Background: The NMDA receptor (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 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 (Ishii et al., 1993). It has been shown that phosphorylation of Ser1480 disrupts the interaction of NR2B with the PDZ domains of PSD-95 and SAP102 and decreases surface NR2B expression in neurons (Chung et al., 2004).Synonyms: GRIN2B, Glutamate [NMDA] receptor subunit epsilon-2, N-methyl D-aspartate receptor subtype 2B, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 3, NMDA Receptor 2B
