Scientific Data Images for Human GluR4 Antibody

Detection of GluR4 in Human Brain Cortex.

GluR4 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Human Brain Cortex using Rabbit Anti-Human GluR4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB113633) at 3 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Rabbit IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC003). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in neurons.

Background: GluR4

Ionotropic glutamate receptor 4 (GluR4) is a 100.9 kDa protein that is part of a family (iGluR 1-7) of ligand-gated ion channels that mediates fast transmission of neurotransmitter signals in neuronal cells. These receptors respond to several agonists including N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA), alpha-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methylisoxazole-4-proprionic acid (AMPA), or kainic acid (KA). iGluRs are tetrameric structures made by the dimerization of dimers. These receptors can form through a combination of iGluR1-iGluR4 subunits. Mature human GluR4 is a 902 amino acid (aa) molecule, and alternate gene-splicing results in transcript variations encoding different isoforms that may effect their signal transduction properties. GluR4 is made up of an extracellular amino-terminal domain (ATD), ligand binding domain (LBD), a common pore-forming transmembrane domain (TMD) and an intracellular C-terminal domain (CTD).  GluR4's clam-shell shaped LBD binds to agonists. The LBD closes upon ligand binding to induce a conformational change to the TMD, resulting in the ion channel opening. GluR4 is highly expressed in areas that utilize fast kinetics and rapid desensitization. Examples of GluR4 expression include tissues of the central cervical nucleus in rats, the outer plexiform layer of goldfish, the retinal cells of chicken embryos and the human cerebral cortex.
