Synthetic peptide corresponding to 16aa from the N-terminus of human GRM3/MGLUR3. Species sequence homology: mouse, rat and rabbit.
The Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor GRM3 binds L-glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, which activates both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. Metabotropic glutamate receptor Group II includes the GRM2 and GRM3 receptors that are linked to inhibition of the cyclic AMP signaling cascade. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
