Glutamate receptor 2 (UniProt P19491; also known as AMPA-selective glutamate receptor 2, GluA2, GluR-2, GluR-B, GluR-K2, GluR2, Glutamate receptor ionotropic, AMPA 2) is encoded by the Gria2 (also known as Glur2) gene (Gene ID: 29627) in rat species. Glutamate receptors are synaptic receptors located primarily on the membranes of neuronal cells. These receptors play important roles in neural communication, memory formation, learning, and regulation by mediating glutamate-dependent postsynaptic excitation. Glutamate receptors are divided into two types, ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). iGluRs form ion channel pores upon glutamate binding, while mGluRs indirectly activate ion channels on the plasma membrane via G protein-coupled signaling cascade. Although all iGluRs and mGluRs bind glutamate, they do exhibit different binding activities toward chemical ligands, such as NMDA, kainate, AMPA, L-AP4, ACPD, L-QA, and such distinction is used to divide these receptors further into subtypes. GluR-2 is an AMPA type iGluR. It is a multi-pass membrane protein that is initially produced with an N -terminal signal peptide sequence (aa. 1-21), the removal of which yields the mature receptor. GluR-2 is palmitoylated in resting state and is depalmitoylated upon glutamate stimulation. Palmitoylation at cysteine 610 leads to its Golgi retention and decreased cell surface expression. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
