Uses
Anti-Glutamate Receptor 1A, Metabotropic (mGluR1A) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for use as a primary antibody at a working dilution of 1:1500 using extracts from mouse brain It is suitable for immunohistochemistry at a working dilution of 1:500 and for immunoblotting at a working dilution of 1:1000.
Biological Activity
Glutamate Receptor 1 is a G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. The role of the metabotropic receptors in pain and pathology is being studied for therapeutic potential. Glutamate receptors are important mediators of excitatory amino acid neurotransmission. The α isomer of this receptor is a disulfide-linked homodimer and its activity is mediated by a G-protein-coupled phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Mutations in this gene causes autosomal-recessive congenital cerebellar ataxia.
