Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
GRM8 Antibody (C-term) Blocking peptide

- SPECIFICATION
- CITATIONS
- PROTOCOLS
- BACKGROUND
| Primary Accession | O00222 |
|---|---|
| Clone Names | 100430070 |
| Gene ID | 2918 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | Metabotropic glutamate receptor 8, mGluR8, GRM8, GPRC1H, MGLUR8 |
| Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13777b was selected from the C-term region of GRM8. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
| Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
| Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | GRM8 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | GPRC1H, MGLUR8 |
| Function | G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase activity. |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |

Background
L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter inthe central nervous system and activates both ionotropic andmetabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamatergic neurotransmissionis involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can beperturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropicglutamate receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptors,that have been divided into 3 groups on the basis of sequencehomology, putative signal transduction mechanisms, andpharmacologic properties. Group I includes GRM1 and GRM5 and thesereceptors have been shown to activate phospholipase C. Group IIincludes GRM2 and GRM3 while Group III includes GRM4, GRM6, GRM7and GRM8. Group II and III receptors are linked to the inhibitionof the cyclic AMP cascade but differ in their agonistselectivities. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encodingdifferent isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided byRefSeq].
