Scientific background

Neuregulins (NRGs) are a multi member protein family involved in cell to cell communication. This family includes four human neuregulin paralogs NRG1-NRG4 which produce multiple isoforms through alternative splicing.

NRGs are involved in several physiological processes including heart and peripheral nervous system development. They act in part by binding to the extracellular region of ErbB/HER transmembrane tyrosine kinases, leading to receptor dimerization and ultimately to the activation of a complex network of downstream signaling events^1,2.

NRG2 transcript levels markedly increase following birth, suggesting that NRG2 has important functions in the postnatal and adult brain. Several studies have also shown that NRG2 modulates glutamatergic transmission in GABAergic neurons and selectively affects GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors^2,3.

The region containing the NRG2 locus is associated with schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders and genetically linked to ADHD in genome-wide scans².

Scientific Background

Specific Control Product

NRG2 (extracellular) Blocking Peptide (#BLP-NR114) is the original antigen used for immunization during Anti-NRG2 (extracellular) Antibody (#ANR-114) generation. The blocking peptide binds and ‘blocks’ Anti-NRG2 (extracellular) primary antibody, this makes it a good negative reagent control to help confirm antibody specificity in western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. This control is also often called a pre-adsorption control.
