Western blot analysis can be done at final concentrations of 0.25-0.5 μg/mL; recognizes a single band in membrane preparations of rat hippocampal neurons ~170,000-180,000 under reduced, SDS PAGE. AB1548 can be used for immunocytochemistry using paraformaldehyde or paraformaldehyde/glutaraldehyde fixed tissue with light and electron microscopy. Cryostat and vibratome sections can be used with or without Triton X-100 treatment. Final concentrations recommended are 0.5-1.0 μg/mL.

The antibody can be used for immunopreciptation of detergent solubilized receptor from brain or transfected cells. For most cases 5 μg of antibody is used with immobilized Protein A.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Western blot analysis of transfected cells shows the antibody recognizes both NR2A and NR2B subunits equally. There may be a very slight recognition of NR2C and NR2D. Western blot analysis of rat brain shows a single band comigrating with NMDAR2A and NMDAR2B expressed in transfected cells. AB1548 has also been used effectively in Western blot of the membrane fraction of rabbit cortex and avian brain homogenates. No cross-reaction is seen with NMDAR1 or other glutamate receptor subunits.

Physical form

Affinity purified using the immunogen peptide. Lyophilized from PBS containing 1% BSA.

Pathways and Biomarkers of Glutamatergic Synapse Flyer

Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter found in the synaptic vesicles of glutamatergic synapses. The post-synaptic neurons in these synapses contain ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamate binds to AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5- methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid) subtype glutamate receptors, leading to sodium influx into the post-synaptic cell and resulting in neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. The NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) subtype glutamate receptors, on the other hand, regulate synaptic plasticity, and can influence learning and memory. The metabotropic g-protein coupled mGluRs modulate downstream calcium signaling pathways and indirectly influence the synapse’s excitability. The synaptic architecture includes intracellular scaffolding proteins (PSD-95, GRIP), intercellular cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs, N-Cadherins), and a variety of signaling proteins (CaMKII/PKA, PP1/PP2B). Processes critical for synaptic transmission and plasticity are influenced by these molecules and their interactions. When the function of these molecules is disrupted, it leads to synaptic dysfunction and degeneration, and can contribute to dementia as seen in Alzheimer’s disease.
