reactivity :
Human, mouse, rat
specificity :
Specific for the ~140k NR2C subunit of the NMDA receptor. Also labels the ~180k NR2A and the ~180k NR2B subunits of the NMDA receptor. Immunolabeling is blocked by preadsorption of antibody with the immunogen that was used to generate the antibody.
purity :
Affinity Purified (Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification using a column to which the fusion protein immunogen was coupled.)
form :
10 ug antibody vial; lyophilized from 5 mM ammonium bicarbonate. The antibody should be reconstituted in 50 ul phosphate buffered saline (PBS: 137 mM NaCl, 7.5 mM Na2HPO4, 2.7 mM KCl, 1.5 mM KH2PO4, pH 7.4) before use. After reconstitution the antibody sh
storage stability :
For long term storage -20 degree C is recommended. Stable at -20 degree C for at least 1 year.
tested application :
Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunoprecipitation (IP)
app notes :
Quality Control: Western blots performed on each lot. WB: 1:1000. IHC: Not recommended as the antibody cross reacts with NR2A and NR2B. IP: 3 ul per 200 ug lysate
other info1 :
Antigen: Fusion protein from the N-terminus of the NR2C-subunit of rat NMDA receptor. Immunogen Information: Fusion protein from the N-terminal region of the NR2C 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 ion channels activated by glutamate that are sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) are designated NMDA receptors (NMDAR). The 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. The NR2C subunit of the receptor is thought to influence the NMDAR conductance level (Ebralidze et al., 1996).

ncbi summary :
subunit that in combination with NMDAR1 displays NMDA receptor activity; may contribute to NMDA receptor functional diversity [RGD, Feb 2006]
uniprot summary :
Function: NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels possesses high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Mediated by glycine. 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). Interacts with PDZ domains of INADL and DLG4. Interacts (via PDZ-binding motif) with SNX27 (via PDZ domain); the interaction is required for recycling to the plasma membrane when endocytosed and prevent degradation in lysosomes. Ref.3 Ref.4. Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction synapse postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family. NR2C/GRIN2C subfamily. [View classification]. Sequence caution: The sequence BAA02499.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
