Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the carboxy terminus of human mGluR5 protein.
Background
mGluR5, a metabotropic glutamate receptor, is a class C G protein-coupled receptor that signals through the Gaq/11-PLC-inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate pathway (1). mGluR5 is comprised of a large N-terminal extracellular domain, seven transmembrane domains, and a C-terminal intracellular domain. Glutamate binding to mGluR5 leads to an increase in intracellular calcium levels and stimulation of PKC activity (2). In neurons, mGluR5 is found in the post-synapse, in a complex with NMDA receptors, PSD-95, SHANK, and Homer (3). mGluR5 is also expressed in microglia and astrocytes (4). Neuronal mGluR5 has been shown to interact with amyloid beta oligomers, and mGluR5 antagonists exhibit neuroprotective effects (5) placing mGluR5 as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease. In glial cells, mGluR5 appears to play an anti-inflammatory role by negatively regulating the release of inflammatory factors (6).

Species Reactivity
Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).
Western Blot Buffer
IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
