Anti-GluR7 Antibody

Offered through Antibodies.com as catalog number A37686, this affinity-purified reagent provides reliable detection of the GluR7 subunit (also known as GluK3 and GRIK3) of the ionotropic kainate glutamate receptor family. It is supplied as 50 µL of rabbit polyclonal IgG at a working concentration of 1.0 mg/mL, formulated in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) without Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ and supplemented with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol as a cryoprotectant. The antibody was raised in rabbit against a synthetic peptide derived from human GluR7 and subsequently purified by affinity chromatography using the epitope-specific immunogen, yielding an unconjugated preparation that recognises endogenous levels of total GluR7 protein. Validated applications include Western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), with confirmed reactivity across human, mouse, and rat samples, making it suitable for neuroscience and receptor-biology research workflows that require cross-species coverage of kainate receptor expression. The vial is shipped at 4 °C for stability during transit; upon receipt, it should be aliquoted and stored at –20 °C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve antibody integrity. As a research-use-only reagent, this polyclonal antibody is intended for laboratory investigation of excitatory amino acid signalling rather than diagnostic or therapeutic use.
