Anti-GluR2

Anti-GluR2 Antibody is directed against rat GluR2 protein. The antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Expect reactivity with the following species based on 100% sequence homology: chicken, human, mouse, non-human primates and Zebrafish. Protein function: Receptor for glutamate that functions as ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L- glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chemical signal to an electrical impulse. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. In the presence of CACNG4 or CACNG7 or CACNG8, shows resensitization which is characterized by a delayed accumulation of current flux upon continued application of glutamate. [The UniProt Consortium]
