Background: Glutamate receptor 2, also known as GLUR2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GRIA2 gene. This gene product belongs to a family of glutamate receptors that are sensitive to alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA), and function as ligand-activated cation channels. GLUR2's cytogenetic location is 4q32.1. The crystal structures of the GLUR2 ligand-binding core in the apo state and in the presence of the antagonist DNQX, the partial agonist kainate, and the full agonists AMPA and glutamate.GLUR2 plays a major role in depression at synapses in which glutamate remains in the synaptic cleft for prolonged periods of time during normal operation of the synapse. The overexpression of GLUR2 increases dendritic spine size and density in hippocampal neurons, and more remarkably, induces spine formation in GABA-releasing interneurons that normally lack spines.

Immunogen: E.coli-derived human GRIA2 recombinant protein (Position: N25-I360). Human GRIA2 shares 99% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat GRIA2.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains antibody formulated with stabilizing components, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2 mg Na2HPO4, and 0.05 mg NaN3.
*This antibody is supplied in a stabilized formulation.
Compatibility with conjugation reactions depends on the chemistry of the conjugation method used.
For conjugation methods that are not compatible with the stabilizing components present in this formulation, a carrier-free antibody format is required.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
