Scientific BackgroundN-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are a class of ionotropic glutamate receptors. NMDA receptor channels are formed from heteromers composed of three different subunits: the key receptor zeta subunit NMDAR1 (GRIN1) with an NMDAR2 epsilon subunit: NMDAR2A (GRIN2A), NMDAR2B (GRIN2B), NMDAR2C (GRIN2C), or NMDAR2D (GRIN2D) and a third subunit: GRIN3A or GRIN3B.
Staining of rabbit retina with antibody R-1563-100. NMDAR 2B immunoreactivity (red) was confined in the entire plexus of the IPL. Ocassionally there were labelled blood vessels. Cryostat sections of rabbit eyecaps were incubated overnight in NMDAR 2B antibody (1:1,000) at RT. Donkey anti-rabbit Cy3 secondary (1:1,000) was used.
