| Description | Anti-GluR1 Antibody, clone C3T, rabbit monoclonal |
| Background Information | L glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropic glutamate receptors are a family of G protein coupled receptors that have been divided into 3 groups. Group I includes GRM1 and these receptors have been shown to activate phospholipase C. GRM1 expression has been reported in various regions of the brain and spinal cord. ESTs have been isolated from brain and eye libraries. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | Glutamate receptors are the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain and are activated in a variety of normal neurophysiologic processes. These receptors are heteromeric protein complexes with multiple subunits, each possessing transmembrane regions, and all arranged to form a ligand-gated ion channel. The classification of glutamate receptors is based on their activation by different pharmacologic agonists. This gene belongs to a family of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P42261 # Ionotropic glutamate receptor. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L- glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chemical signal to an electrical impulse. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. SIZE: 906 amino acids; 101506 Da SUBUNIT: Homotetramer or heterotetramer of pore-forming glutamate receptor subunits. Tetramers may be formed by the dimerization of dimers. Interacts with DLG1 via its C-terminus. Interacts with CACNG2 and RASGRF2 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity). Note=Interaction with CACNG2 promotes cell surface expression (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed in brain. PTM: Palmitoylated. Depalmitoylated upon glutamate stimulation. Cys-603 palmitoylation leads to Golgi retention and decreased cell surface expression. In contrast, Cys-829 palmitoylation does not affect cell surface expression but regulates stimulation-dependent endocytosis (By similarity). SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P42261 ## Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10) family. MISCELLANEOUS: The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. This receptor binds AMPA (quisqualate) > glutamate > kainate. |
