NCBI Description

L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and activates both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropic glutamate receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptors, that have been divided into 3 groups on the basis of sequence homology, putative signal transduction mechanisms, and pharmacologic properties. Group I includes GRM1 and GRM5 and these receptors have been shown to activate phospholipase C. Group II includes GRM2 and GRM3 while Group III includes GRM4, GRM6, GRM7 and GRM8. Group II and III receptors are linked to the inhibition of the cyclic AMP cascade but differ in their agonist selectivities. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

mGluR8: Receptor for glutamate. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that inhibits adenylate cyclase activity. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Receptor, GPCR; Membrane protein, integral; GPCR, family 3

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q31.3-q32.1

Cellular Component: presynaptic membrane; integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane

Molecular Function: G-protein coupled receptor activity; group III metabotropic glutamate receptor activity; glutamate receptor activity

Biological Process: negative regulation of cAMP biosynthetic process; regulation of synaptic transmission, glutamatergic; visual perception; sensory perception of smell; metabotropic glutamate receptor, adenylate cyclase inhibiting pathway

Product Notes

The GRM8 grm8 (Catalog #AAA6419389) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GRM8 (Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 8, GLUR8, mGlu8, GPRC1H, MGLUR8) (PE) reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GRM8 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB). IHC: 1:50-1:200 WB: 1:500-1:2000 Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GRM8 grm8 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GRM8, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
