Anti-mGLUR2 Antibody

Western blot analysis of mGLUR2 expression in rat brain (A) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 95; 98 kD; Observed band size: 110 kD)
Immunohistochemical analysis of mGLUR2 staining in human brain formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Protein Information
Name	GRM2 (HGNC:4594)
Synonyms	GPRC1B, MGLUR2
Function	Dimeric G protein-coupled receptor which is activated by the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate (PubMed:37286794). Plays critical roles in modulating synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability. Upon activation by glutamate, inhibits presynaptic calcium channels, reducing further glutamate release and dampening excitatory signaling (By similarity). Mechanistically, ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. May mediate suppression of neurotransmission or may be involved in synaptogenesis or synaptic stabilization.
Cellular Location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Synapse. Cell projection, dendrite
Tissue Location	Detected in brain cortex (at protein level). Widely expressed in different regions of the adult brain as well as in fetal brain.
