Anti-NMDAR2A/GRIN2A Antibody Picoband® (PE Conjugate)

GRIN2A is also known as N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor channel, subunit epsilon-1 (NMDAR2A). This gene encodes a member of the glutamate-gated ion channel protein family. The encoded protein is an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit. NMDA receptors are both ligand-gated and voltage-dependent, and are involved in long-term potentiation, an activity-dependent increase in the efficiency of synaptic transmission thought to underlie certain kinds of memory and learning. These receptors are permeable to calcium ions, and activation results in a calcium influx into post-synaptic cells, which results in the activation of several signaling cascades. Disruption of this gene is associated with focal epilepsy and speech disorder with or without mental retardation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

E.coli-derived human NMDAR2A recombinant protein (Position: D958-R1300). Human NMDAR2A shares 89% and 90% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat NMDAR2A, respectively.

NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels possesses high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Activation requires binding of agonist to both types of subunits.
