Target

  • Function

    NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels with high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Mediated by glycine. This protein plays a key role in synaptic plasticity, synaptogenesis, excitotoxicity, memory acquisition and learning. It mediates neuronal functions in glutamate neurotransmission. Is involved in the cell surface targeting of NMDA receptors.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family. NR1/GRIN1 subfamily.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    NMDA is probably regulated by C-terminal phosphorylation of an isoform of NR1 by PKC. Dephosphorylated on Ser-897 probably by protein phosphatase 2A (PPP2CB). Its phosphorylated state is influenced by the formation of the NMDAR-PPP2CB complex and the NMDAR channel activity.

  • Cellular localization

    Cell membrane. Cell junction > synapse > postsynaptic cell membrane. Cell junction > synapse > postsynaptic cell membrane > postsynaptic density. Enriched in post-synaptic plasma membrane and post-synaptic densities.

Question

Thank you for your e-mail. Yes, the information helped a lot. Based on the sequence I believe this corresponds to a region, which varies between NMDAR1 subunit isoforms (according to a quick Uniprot search).

Read More
Answer

That is correct, according to Uniprot the exact immunogen sequence is missing in isoforms 1, 2 and 7 but conserved in isoforms 3 (also known as long, NR-1-3), 4, 5 and 6.

Question

Do you have a detailed protocol of flow cytometric analysis of permeabilized SH-SY5Y cells which are demonstrated in the datasheet?

Read More
Answer

The protocol used was our standard FC protocol with ab109182 Anti-NMDAR1 antibody [EPR2481(2)]. Please see the link below for more details.

Question

Can I use this antibody with live cells?

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

Unfortunately, we do not have the epitope information for this antibody but according to the immunogen sequence, it is towards the cytoplasmic region of the membrane. Therefore, this product may not be suitable for live cells in flow cytometry.

I hope this information will be helpful.

Question

Can I use this product with live cells?

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

This product was tested with permeabilized SH‐SY5Y cells and the cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde and incubated at room temperature for 10 min. Our labs use the intracellular staining protocol only, and so there is no guarantee if this antibody can be used with live cells.

In general, it should not be a problem but should you not see expected results, please try with fixed cells.

I hope this information will be helpful.

Question

I have found an antibody from another company called "rabbit anti-NR1pan" in the paper : "Newborn- and adult-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells show age-related differences in phenotype and glutamate-evoked protease release" by Legros et al. in Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism (2009) 29, 1146-1158. Unfortuneately, the company stopped selling this antibody.

Thus, I wanted to ask whether you can offer a good primary antibody against the NR1 subunit of the NMDAR (NMDARNR1, Grin1, NMDAR1) for western blotting and immunofluorescence. This antibody has to react with mouse and recognize the isoforms of NR1 that means it should be a PAN-antibody, the preferred species would be rabbit.

Read More
Answer

Thank you for contacting us.

We have a few rabbit-raised antibodies to NMDAR1 that were tested in mouse as well as WB and ICC.

ab28669 (https://www.abcam.com/NMDAR1-antibody-ab28669.html), but based on the immunogen sequence, it would only recognize only isoform 1 in mouse.

ab109182 (https://www.abcam.com/NMDAR1-antibody-EPR2481-2-ab109182.html). Here I currently have no detailed information about the location of the immunogen peptide, and will inquire with the lab about that. I will let you know when I hear back from them.

ab17345 (https://www.abcam.com/NMDAR1-antibody-Neuronal-Marker-ab17345.html). This antibody was raised against a peptide in the N-terminal region which seems to be conserved among the isoforms. The antibody has not yet been tested inmouse, but is predicted to react based on sequence homology. In that case I can offer you a testing discount code for trying it in mouse. Please see for more information below.

We guarantee all our products for tested species and applications as listed on the datasheet. The guarantee is valid for 6 months after a purchase. For more details about our Abpromise guarantee please check this link: https://www.abcam.com/abpromise.

For UNTESTED species and/or applications, we have established a testing discount program. Here is a brief description of how it works:
The testing discount program is for customers who like to use an antibody/protein on an untested species/application. You would purchase the antibody at full price, test it and submit an Abreview with your data (positive or negative). On your next order you will receive a discount for ONE antibody at the full price (100%) of the antibody you have tested. The terms and conditions applicable to this offer can be found here: https://www.abcam.com/collaborationdiscount.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
