Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Anti-GRM2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total GRM2 protein._x000D_ Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (MGLUR2/GRM2) with 872 amino acids, is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 3. GRM2 belongs to the class c of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCRs) family. It is expressed mainly in the central nervous system (CNS) of rat brain and widely expressed in human adult and fetal brain. GRM2 is characterized with an α-helical helix 8 (H8) domain._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human GRM2._x000D_ Immunogen Range: 241-290_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Metabotropic glutamate receptor (MGLUR2) is involved in the glutamatergic system in the brain. Overexpression of glutamate in brain areas such as the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala leads to anxiety and schizophrenia, activation of MGLUR2 in these areas reduces the excitatory neurotransmission, therefore mGlu2 receptor might be considered as a potential target for the treatment of these diseases. GRM2 signaling inhibits adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity. GRM2 is required for the modulation of synaptic transmission._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
