Anti-GluR2-subunit (Ser880) Antibody

Our Anti-GluR2-subunit (Ser880) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects rat GluR2-subunit (Ser880) and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB.

Product Specifications

Background

The ion channels activated by glutamate are typically divided into two classes. Those that are sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) are designated NMDA receptors (NMDAR) while those activated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxalone propionic acid (AMPA) are known as AMPA receptors (AMPAR) . The AMPAR are comprised of four distinct glutamate receptor subunits designated (GluR1-4) and they play key roles in virtually all excitatory neurotransmission in the brain (Keinänen et al., 1990; Hollmann and Heinemann, 1994) . The number of GluR2 subunits in the AMPA receptor complex affects the Ca2+ permeability, rectification and single-channel conductance of AMPA receptors. Ser-880 has been identified as the PKC phosphorylation site within the C-terminal region of GluR2 and has been shown to differentially regulate the interaction of the PDZ domain-containing proteins GRIP1 and PICK 1 (Matsuda et al., 1999)

Specificity

Specific for endogenous levels of the ~100 kDa GluR2 protein phosphorylated at Ser880. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption with the phosphopeptide used as antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.
