• Sequence Length: 1464

• Applicable Applications for anti-GRIN2A antibody: Western Blot (WB)
• Application Notes: Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot.; WB: 1:1000
• Antigen: Fusion protein from the C-terminus region of the NR2A subunit of rat NMDA receptor.
• Immunogen Information: Fusion protein from the C-terminal region of the NR2A subunit
• Immunogen Species: Rat
• Species Reactivity Note: The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with human, mouse and rat tissue.
• Biological Significance: The NMDA receptor (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.
• Preparation and Storage: Store at -20 degree C; stable for at least 1 year

Uniprot Description

Function: NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels possesses high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Activation requires binding of agonist to both types of subunits.

Subunit structure: Forms heteromeric channel of a zeta subunit (GRIN1), a epsilon subunit (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C or GRIN2D) and a third subunit (GRIN3A or GRIN3B). Found in a complex with GRIN1, GRIN3A and PPP2CB. Interacts with AIP1. Found in a complex with GRIN1 and GRIN3B. Interacts with HIP1 and NETO1. Interacts with SNX27 (via PDZ domain); the interaction is required for recycling to the plasma membrane when endocytosed and prevent degradation in lysosomes

By similarity. Interacts with PDZ domains of INADL and DLG4. Interacts with LRFN2. Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12

Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction › synapse › postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Ref.8.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family. NR2A/GRIN2A subfamily. [View classification]
