Ionotropic glutamate receptor that functions as a ligand-gated cation channel, gated by L-glutamate and glutamatergic agonists such as alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), quisqualic acid, and kainic acid (PubMed:1311100, PubMed:20805473, PubMed:21172611, PubMed:28628100, PubMed:35675825). 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 upon entry of monovalent and divalent cations such as sodium and calcium. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters in a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist (By similarity). In the presence of CACNG2 or CACNG4 or CACNG7 or CACNG8, shows resensitization which is characterized by a delayed accumulation of current flux upon continued application of L-glutamate (PubMed:21172611). Resensitization is blocked by CNIH2 through interaction with CACNG8 in the CACNG8-containing AMPA receptors complex (PubMed:21172611). Calcium (Ca(2+)) permeability depends on subunits composition and, heteromeric channels containing edited GRIA2 subunit are calcium-impermeable. Also permeable to other divalents cations such as strontium(2+) and magnesium(2+) and monovalent cations such as potassium(1+) and lithium(1+) (By similarity).

Based on sequence analysis, ab31232 shares 100% homology with Human, Mouse and Rat Glutamate Receptor 1 (AMPA subtype), however we have been unable to demonstrate reactivity with human tissues in experiments. Abcam welcomes customer feedback and would appreciate any comments regarding this product.
Replenishment batches of our polyclonal antibody, ab31232 are tested in WB. Previous batches were additionally validated in IHC-FoFr and IHC-P. These applications are still expected to work and are covered by our Abpromise guarantee. You may also be interested in our alternative recombinant antibody, ab183797.
Glutamate Receptor 1 (AMPA subtype) also known as GluR1 is a subunit of the AMPA receptor complex which mediates fast synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. It is an ionotropic receptor for glutamate functioning by opening ion channels to allow the flow of Na+ and Ca2+ ions across the cell membrane contributing to excitatory neurotransmission. The GluR1 subunit has a molecular mass of approximately 100 kDa. This receptor is commonly expressed in the brain regions such as the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex playing an important role in synaptic plasticity and memory formation.
The GluR1 subunit is an essential component of the AMPA receptor complex which typically forms as a tetramer. This complex modulates synaptic strength and plasticity processes critical for learning and memory. The activity of AMPA receptors including those containing GluR1 is regulated by several auxiliary proteins and is essential for post-synaptic responses. The GluR1 subunit also interacts with other proteins such as TARPs which modulate its trafficking and channel properties.
The GluR1-containing AMPA receptors participate significantly in the glutamatergic signaling pathway which is vital for fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. This pathway also involves the NMDA receptors which work together with AMPA receptors to regulate synaptic plasticity and neuronal communication. Additionally the GluR1 interacts within the long-term potentiation (LTP) pathway contributing to the strengthening of synapses an essential mechanism underlying learning and memory.
Dysfunction in GluR1 and associated AMPA receptors has been implicated in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. Alzheimer's disease exhibits decreased synaptic transmission and plasticity linked to impaired GluR1 function and its interactions with NMDA receptors. In epilepsy abnormal GluR1 activity may contribute to heightened neuronal excitability and seizure propagation. Targeting GluR1 or associated pathways offers potential for therapeutic interventions in these disorders possibly through drugs such as memantine and NBQX which modulate receptor activity.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab31232 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ECL Substrate Kit (High Sensitivity) ab133406.

Immunohistochemistical detection of Glutamate Receptor 1 (AMPA subtype) with ab31232 on formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse brain sections. Antigen retrieval step: heat mediated in Citric acid pH6 buffer.Blocking step: 1%BSA for 10 mins @ rt°C. Primary antibody ab31232 incubated at 1/100 for 2 hours. Secondary antibody: anti-rabbit IgGs conjugated to biotin (1/200). The composite image shows immunostaining in cell bodies and processes of a subset of neurones in the mouse cortex (upper image) and also in the dendritic fields of the molecular layer of the mouse cerebellum (lower image). Purkinje cells of the cerebellum are negative but their primary processes are clearly delineated by a punctate membrane-region positivity. What appears to be small cells in close contact with the Purkinje cell bodies are strongly positive (perhaps these are basket cells?).
IHC image of Glutamate Receptor 1 (AMPA subtype) staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal rat brain performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab31232, 1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
