GLRA1 Antibodies

AND GLRA1 ELISA kits, GLRA1 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect GLRA1, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with GLRA1 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop GLRA1 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to GLRA1 by testing them on tissues known to express GLRA1 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the GLRA1 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 1 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

GLRA1 Overview

Facts about Glycine receptor subunit alpha-1.

GLRA1 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Glycine receptor subunit alpha-1 (GLRA1)

Channel opening is triggered by extracellular glycine (PubMed:2155780, PubMed:7920629, PubMed:14551753, PubMed:16144831, PubMed:22715885, PubMed:22973015, PubMed:25973519, PubMed:9009272). Channel opening is also triggered by taurine and beta-alanine (PubMed:16144831, PubMed:9009272).

Channel characteristics are determined by the subunit composition; heteropentameric stations are activated by reduced glycine levels and exhibit faster desensitization (PubMed:14551753). Plays an important role in the down-regulation of neuronal excitability (PubMed:8298642, PubMed:9009272).
