Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter found in the synaptic vesicles of glutamatergic synapses. The post-synaptic neurons in these synapses contain ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamate binds to AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5- methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid) subtype glutamate receptors, leading to sodium influx into the post-synaptic cell and resulting in neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. The NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) subtype glutamate receptors, on the other hand, regulate synaptic plasticity, and can influence learning and memory. The metabotropic g-protein coupled mGluRs modulate downstream calcium signaling pathways and indirectly influence the synapse’s excitability. The synaptic architecture includes intracellular scaffolding proteins (PSD-95, GRIP), intercellular cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs, N-Cadherins), and a variety of signaling proteins (CaMKII/PKA, PP1/PP2B). Processes critical for synaptic transmission and plasticity are influenced by these molecules and their interactions. When the function of these molecules is disrupted, it leads to synaptic dysfunction and degeneration, and can contribute to dementia as seen in Alzheimer’s disease.

Western blotting is one of the most commonly used techniques in the lab, yet difficulties persist in obtaining consistent, quality results. We’ve been helping scientists publish their Western blots for decades, with continued innovation and steadfast technical support. Explore our expanded portfolio of products, including optimized reagents for chemiluminescent and Ḁuorescent Westerns, as well as the SNAP i.d.® system, which reduces blocking, washing and antibody incubation time from hours to minutes.
