Glutamate Receptor 1 (pS845) / FITC / S355-1

Product Details

Description	Mouse monoclonal to GluA1 (FITC). Glutamic acid is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. Glutamate receptors are classified on the basis of their activation by different agonists (1-3). GluR1, human glutamate receptor type 1, is an integral membrane protein that is widely expressed in the human brain. The postsynaptic actions of glutamic acid are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. GluR1 is known to bind a kainate subtype of agonist. It has been found that malfunctioning of the glutamatergic system may result in certain brain disorders and neurodegeneration..

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
