Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 (mGluR2, also known as GPRC1B and GRM2) is an 872 aa, predicted 96 kDa multipass G protein coupled inhibitory receptor (GPCR) belonging to group II of the metabotropic glutamate receptor family. The receptor functions as an autoreceptor for glutamate, that upon activation, inhibits the emptying of vesicular contents at the presynaptic terminal of glutamatergic neurons. It is localized largely on the presynaptic side of glutamatergic and other neurotransmitter synapses in areas of the forebrain. mGluR2 activity is potentially involved in some anxiety disorders. The long N‑terminal extracellular region of human mGluR2 (aa 1‑498) shares 97% aa identity with either mouse or rat mGluR2.

Scientific Data Images for Human mGluR2 Antibody (455311)
mGluR2 in Human Brain.
mGluR2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (cerebellum) using Mouse Anti-Human mGluR2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB46761) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell membranes in Purkinje neurons and in granular cells.
