specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of GRM1. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between GRM1 and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between GRM1 and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.

products description :
Principle of the assay: GRM1 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-GRM1 antibody and an GRM1-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with GRM1-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the GRM1 concentration since GRM1 from samples and GRM1-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-GRM1 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by GRM1 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind GRM1-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The GRM1 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a metabotropic glutamate receptor that functions by activating phospholipase C. 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 canonical alpha isoform of the encoded protein is a disulfide-linked homodimer whose activity is mediated by a G-protein-coupled phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. This gene may be associated with many disease states, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and breast cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
uniprot summary :
mGluR1: Receptor for glutamate. The activity of this receptor is mediated by a G-protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol- calcium second messenger system. May participate in the central action of glutamate in the CNS, such as long-term potentiation in the hippocampus and long-term depression in the cerebellum. Homodimer; disulfide-linked. The PPXXF motif binds HOMER1, HOMER2 and HOMER3. Interacts with SIAH1, RYR1, RYR2, ITPR1, SHANK1, SHANK3 and GRASP. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Receptor, GPCR; Membrane protein, multi-pass; GPCR, family 3. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q24. Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; dendrite; postsynaptic density; plasma membrane; nucleus. Molecular Function: G-protein coupled receptor activity; protein binding; glutamate receptor activity. Biological Process: synaptic transmission; G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; elevation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration during G-protein signaling, coupled to IP3 second messenger (phospholipase C activating); regulation of synaptic transmission, glutamatergic; activation of MAPKK activity; activation of MAPK activity; protein kinase C activation; metabotropic glutamate receptor signaling pathway; locomotory behavior; regulation of sensory perception of pain; sensory perception of pain.
