DATASHEET

Host: Rabbit

Target Protein: NMDA NR2A Subunit (Tyr1325)

Specificity: Specific for endogenous levels of the ~180k NMDAR NR2A-subunit protein phosphorylated at Tyr1325 in Western blots. Immunolabeling is completely eliminated by treatment with λ-phosphatase.

Modification Site: Tyr1325

Clonality: Polyclonal

Isotype: IgG

Entrez Gene: 24409

Swiss Prot: Q00959

Source: Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Tyr1325 of the rat NMDA receptor, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).

Purification: Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Storage Buffer: 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Storage: 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.

Background:

The ion channels activated by glutamate that are sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (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). Channels with physiological characteristics are produced when the NR1 subunit is combined with one or more of the NMDAR2 (NR2 A-D) subunits (Ishii et al., 1993). Recently, phosphorylation of Tyrosine 1325 of the NR2A subunit has been shown to be increased in human brain tissue sections from HIV-infected individuals with encephalitis (King et al., 2010). In addition, Tyr-1325 phosphorylation has been linked with depression-related behavior (Taniguchi et al., 2009).
