mGluRs are metabotropic glutamate receptors involved in excitatory neurotransmission
Rabbit monoclonal recombinant IgG
Cat. No.: 191 508
Amount: 50 µg

Subtype IgG1 (κ light chain)
Immunogen Full length native human mGluR5 (UniProt Id: P41594)
Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the monoclonal human antibody 380-035. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced with rabbit specific sequences. The antibody can therefore be used with standard anti-rabbit secondary reagents. The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells.
IHC-G: 3% glyoxal, 1% acetic acid, 20% ethanol, in ddH2O, pH 4.2-4.4, according to Richter et al. 2017 is recommended.

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).
