Our Anti-Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 7 (Ser862) rabbit polyclonal phosphospecific primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects mouse and rat Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 7 (Ser862) and is antigen affinity purified. It is great for use in WB.
Western blot of mouse brain lysate showing the specific immunolabeling of the ~102 kDa mGluR7 protein phosphorylated at Ser862 in the first lane (-). Phosphospecificity is shown in the second lane (+) where immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of the phosphopeptide used as the antigen, but not by the corresponding non-phosphopeptide (not shown).
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are key receptors in the modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. They are implicated in many forms of neural plasticity as well as learning and memory and drug abuse (Bhattacharya et al., 2004; Francesconi et al., 2004; Wilson and Nicoll, 2001). The mGluRs are divided into three groups based on sequence identity and pharmacological properties: group I (mGluR1 and mGluR5) are localized in the perisynaptic region of the postsynaptic membrane, whereas group II (mGlur2 and mGluR3) and group III (mGluR4,6,7 and 8) are localized predominantly at presynaptic terminals. PKC phosphorylation of Ser-862 on mGluR7 has been shown to be critical for stabilizing receptor surface expression and promoting binding to the synaptic PDZ-domain-containing protein PICK1 (Suh et al., 2008).
Antigen Affinity Purified from Pooled Serum
Polyclonal
IgG
WB
Rabbit
GRM7
102 kDa
Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Ser862 of rat mGluR7, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).
Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
Liquid
Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho and non-phosphopeptide affinity columns.
10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.
WB: 1:1000
WB Brain: 1:1000
Unconjugated
Specific for the ~102 kDa mGluR7 protein phosphorylated at Ser862. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of antibody with the phospho-peptide used as antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide.
