100 µg purified IgG, lyophilized. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 100 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use. Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze! |
Applications |
IP: yes ICC: 1 : 100 up to 1 : 500 (see remarks) gallery IHC: not tested yet IHC-P: not tested yet |
Clone | 248B7 |
Subtype | IgG2a (κ light chain) |
Immunogen | Recombinant protein corresponding to the extracellular amino-terminus of rat GluA2. (UniProt Id: P19491) |
Reactivity |
Reacts with: rat (P19490, P19491, P19492, P19493), mouse (P23818, P23819, Q9Z2W9, Q9Z2W8), human (P42262). Other species not tested yet. |
Specificity | Raised against GluA2 but detects GluA1, 2, and 3 transfected cells with a strong preference for GluA1. Due to sequence homology, it likely crossreacts also to GluA4. |
Remarks |
ICC: This antibody is suitable for the surface staining of living cells. After washing cells with bound antibodies they can be fixed and visualized with secondary reagents. |

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) mediate rapid excitatory neurotransmission in the mammalian CNS. They can be subdivided into three major groups, the AMPA/GluA, NMDA/GluN and kainate/GluK receptors (KARs). mRNAs coding for glutamate receptors are substrates for an adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) that increases the diversity of these proteins.
Glutamate receptors of the AMPA subtype are monovalent cation channels and are composed of the four AMPA subunits GluA 1, GluA 2, GluA 3, and GluA 4.
