MGluR-6 (A865) polyclonal antibody

The mGluR proteins (metabotropic glutamate receptors) are members of the G protein-coupled receptor family and are functionally and pharmacologically distinct from the GluR proteins (ionotropic glutamate receptors) . The eight currently known mGluR proteins are mediated by two G proteins with opposing regulation of adenylate cyclase pathways. The activities of mGluR-1 and mGluR-5 are mediated by a G protein that activates a phosphatidylinositolcalcium second messenger system and generates a calcium-activated chloride current. The remainder of the eight subtypes of mGluR have an activity mediated by a G protein that inhibits adenylate cyclase activity. mGluR-6 is expressed in the synapses of bipolar cell dendrites. This receptor is involved in mediating synaptic transmission from rod and cone photoreceptors to other neurons.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .
