Target/Specificity | Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to amino acid residues surrounding Tyr1325 conjugated to KLH. |
Dilution | FC~~1:500 WB~~ 1:1000 |
Format | Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via sequential chromatography on phospho- and dephosphopeptide affinity columns. |
Antibody Specificity | Specific for the ~180k NMDAR NR2A-subunit protein phosphorylated at Tyr1325 in Western blots. Immunolabeling is completely blocked by blocked by the phosphopeptide used as the antigen but not by the corresponding dephosphopeptide. |

Background
The ion channels activated by glutamate that are sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) are designated NMDA receptors (NMDAR). The NMDAR plays an essential role in memory, neuronal development and it has also been implicated in several disorders of the central nervous system including Alzheimer’s, epilepsy and ischemic neuronal cell death (Grosshans et al., 2002; Wenthold et al., 2003; Carroll and Zukin, 2002). The NMDA receptor is also one of the principal molecular targets for alcohol in the CNS (Lovinger et al., 1989; Alvestad et al., 2003; Snell et al., 1996). Channels with physiological characteristics are produced when the NR1 subunit is combined with one or more of the NMDAR2 (NR2 A-D) subunits (Ishii et al., 1993). Recently, phosphorylation of Tyrosine 1325 of the NR2A subunit has been shown to be increased in human brain tissue sections from HIV-infected individuals with encephalitis (King et al., 2010). In addition, Tyr1325 phosphorylation has been linked with depression-related behavior (Taniguchi et al., 2009).
