Anti-GluN2A/NR2A Antibody (56546) (56546-100ug)

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors are heteromeric protein complexes, and three families of NMDAR subunits have been identified: NR1, NR2 and NR3. The subunit composition determines the pharmacological and physiological properties of the NMDARs. NR2A is gradually increased in adult CNS but is absent in embryonic CNS. Electro- physiological data suggest that NR2A- containing NMDARs tend to be localized synaptically, whereas NR2B-containing receptors tend to be localized peri- synaptically or extrasynaptically. In the spinal cord, the predominant subunits of NMDARs include NR2A at synaptic sites and NR2B at extrasynaptic sites.
