Our Anti-NMDA NR2C Subunit rabbit polyclonal primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human, mouse, and rat NMDA NR2C Subunit and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB, IP.
Western blot of 10 µg of rat cerebellar lysate showing specific immunolabeling of the ~140 kDa NR2C subunit of the NMDA receptor.
The ion channels activated by glutamate that are sensitive to N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA) are designated NMDA receptors (NMDAR). The NMDAR plays an essential role in memory, neuronal development and it has also been implicated in several disorders of the central nervous system including Alzheimer’s, epilepsy and ischemic neuronal cell death (Grosshans et al., 2002; Wenthold et al., 2003; Carroll and Zukin, 2002). The NMDA receptor is also one of the principal molecular targets for alcohol in the CNS (Lovinger et al., 1989; Alvestad et al., 2003; Snell et al., 1996). The NMDAR is also potentiated by protein phosphorylation (Lu et al., 1999). The rat NMDAR1 (NR1) was the first subunit of the NMDAR to be cloned. The NR1 protein can form NMDA activated channels when expressed in Xenopus oocytes but the currents in such channels are much smaller than those seen in situ. Channels with more physiological characteristics are produced when the NR1 subunit is combined with one or more of the NMDAR2 (NR2 A-D) subunits. The NR2C subunit of the receptor is thought to influence the NMDAR conductance level (Ebralidze et al., 1996).

Reconstitute in 50 µl phosphate buffered saline (PBS: 137 mM NaCl, 7.5 mM Na2HPO4, 2.7 mM KCl, 1.5 mM KH2PO4, pH 7.4) before use. After reconstitution it is recommended that the undiluted antibody be aliquoted into smaller working volumes (10-30 uL/vial depending on usage) and stored long term at -20° C or -80° C, while keeping a working aliquot stored at 4° C for short term. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. Stable for at least 1 year.
Lyophilized
Prepared from pooled rabbit serum by affinity purification using a column to which the fusion protein immunogen was coupled.
Specific for endogenous levels of the ~140 kDa NR2C subunit of the NMDA receptor. Also labels the ~180 kDa NR2A and the ~180 kDa NR2B subunits of the NMDA receptor. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of antibody with the immunogen that was used to generate the antibody.
Western blots performed on each lot.
