Analysis Note

ControlRat brain micropreparation tissue lysate

Application

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected mGluR5 in normal human brain tissue.

Detect mGluR5 using this mouse monoclonal antibody, Anti-mGluR5 Antibody, clone 11D9.1 validated for use in western blotting & IHC.

General description

Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family and functions as a receptor for glutamate. mGluR5 activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system and generates a calcium-activated chloride current.

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human mGluR5.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Format: Purified

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in rat brain micropreparation tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 1.0 µg/mL of this antibody detected mGluR5 in 10 µg of rat brain micropreparation tissue lysate. The lysate was not boiled during preperation for western blotting.

Target description

~150 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight is 130 kDa, however mGluR5 has been shown as a ~150 kDa band in western blots (Romano, C., et al. (1996). J Biol Chem. 271(45):28612-28616).
