Overexpressed Membrane Fractions

AMPA receptors are members of the glutamate receptor family of ion channels that also include the NMDA and Kainate receptors. The three subfamilies are named after the original synthetic agonists that were identified as selective ligands of each family.
The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor subfamily includes four members AMPA1-AMPA4 that are also known as GluR1-GluR4 respectively.
The functional AMPA channel is believed to be a tetramer, with most neuronal AMPA receptors being actually heterotetramers composed of AMPA1 plus AMPA2 or AMPA2 plus AMPA3, although homotetramers can also be found.

Alomone Labs is excited to offer a line of Overexpressed Membrane Fractions. These membrane fractions are Xenopus oocyte membrane lysates overexpressing a specific ion channel. Fractions are sold as a set of injected and non-injected oocytes and can be used as controls for Alomone Labs antibodies. 

Overexpressed Membrane Fractions can also be purchased as a kit with their respective antibody. Membrane fractions enable end users to verify/validate the specificity of Alomone Labs antibodies.
