TAT-GluA2 3Y is a blood-brain barrier-permeable AMPA receptor inhibitory peptide that crosses cell membranes via the HIV-1 TAT protein domain. TAT-GluA2 3Y blocks the endocytosis of AMPA receptors, including the internalization of GluA1/GluA2 subunits, by disrupting interactions with the AP2, Brag2 and Syt3-GluA2 complexes, while also inhibiting long-term depression. TAT-GluA2 3Y blocks hypoxia-mediated AMPAR internalization, alleviates A1R-induced persistent synaptic inhibition, and reduces cerebral ischemic volume, neurological deficits and spatial memory deficits. TAT-GluA2 3Y blocks the effect of NLRP3 deficiency on fear generalization, inhibits amphetamine-induced behavioral/neurochemical sensitization, weakens the unconditioned stimulus-conditioned stimulus association of morphine, and promotes the extinction of morphine CPP. TAT-GluA2 3Y can be used in studies related to fear generalization, ischemic stroke, hypoxia, drug addiction and opioid addiction.

In Vitro

Tat-GluA2-3Y (2 μM; 1 h pre-incubation) blocks clathrin-mediated endocytosis, thereby inhibiting A1R agonist- and hypoxia-induced internalization of GluA2 and GluA1 AMPARs, as well as A1R agonist-induced reduction in surface GluA2 and GluA1 AMPAR levels, in primary cultured rat hippocampal neurons[3].
Tat-GluA2-3Y (2 μM; 1 h pre-incubation) prevents A1R agonist-induced GluA2 AMPAR internalization in rat hippocampal slices[3].
The Tat-GluA2-3Y peptide (2 μM) can partially block clathrin-mediated GluA2 internalization, thereby attenuating the persistent synaptic inhibition induced by A1R agonists in the CA3-CA1 synapses of rat hippocampus[3].

In Vivo

TAT-GluA2 3Y (4.32 μM/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single administration) blocks NLRP3 knockout-induced fear generalization in mice, restores the phosphorylation level of hippocampal AMPA receptor 1 at the ser831 site, and reduces phosphorylated CaMKII levels[1].
TAT-GluA2 3Y (5 mg/kg; i.p.; multiple administrations) disrupts the interaction between Syt3 and GluA2, increases the surface expression level of GluA2, inhibits the formation of CP-AMPAR, reduces the cerebral ischemic volume by approximately 40%-50% in male SD rats with ischemic stroke induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R), improves neurological function, and enhances the recovery of long-term sensorimotor and cognitive functions[2].
TAT-GluA2 3Y (1.5 nM/g; intravenous injection; 5 times (once before each dexamphetamine injection, once every 2 days)) blocks the induction, maintenance and expression of amphetamine-induced behavioral and neurochemical sensitization in male SD rats[4].
TAT-GluA2 3Y (15 pM; bilateral microinjection into the ventral tegmental area (VTA); 5 total injections, one before each d-amphetamine injection, once every 2 days) inhibits the maintenance and expression of amphetamine-induced behavioral sensitization in male SD rats, but does not inhibit its induction[4].
Co-administration of TAT-GluA2 3Y (intravenously injected at a dose of 1.5-2.25 nM/g; administered 1 h prior to each morphine conditioning session) with morphine during the acquisition phase of morphine-conditioned place preference (CPP) promotes rapid extinction of preference, but does not affect the induction, expression, maintenance or reinstatement of CPP[5].
TAT-GluA2 3Y (2.25 nM/g; intravenous injection; 1 hour prior to each food conditioning session) has no effect on the induction, extinction, or reinstatement of food-induced conditioned place preference in rats[5].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
