Anti-GluR5 Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this affinity-purified reagent is raised in rabbit and is specific for the GluR5 subunit (also known as GluK1, EAA3, glutamate receptor 5, or glutamate receptor ionotropic kainate 1), detecting endogenous levels of total GluR5 protein. The polyclonal antibody is supplied at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL as an unconjugated Rabbit IgG preparation in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) containing 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, and is offered in a 50 µL pack size. It was generated against a synthesized peptide derived from the human GluR5 sequence and purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity chromatography using the epitope-specific immunogen. The antibody is validated for Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) applications and has been confirmed to react with human, mouse, and rat samples, making it suitable for cross-species studies of kainate-type glutamate receptor biology. For handling and stability, the product is shipped at 4 °C and should be aliquoted upon arrival and stored at –20 °C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve activity. Researchers working on excitatory amino acid signalling, synaptic transmission, or neurological disease models can rely on this reagent as a robust primary antibody for both protein detection and tissue localisation work.
