Anti-Glutamate Receptor 2 antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target Glutamate Receptor 2 is a known alias name of the protein glutamate ionotropic receptor AMPA type subunit 2, encoded by the GRIA2 gene in humans. This 883-amino acid residue protein is a known receptor for glutamate that functions as ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system. It is localized to the ER and cell membrane of the cell and features glycosylated, ubiquitinated, palmitoylated and phosphorylated post-translational modifications. It is reported to be expressed in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and caudate. Other synonyms for Glutamate Receptor 2 include GLUR2, GLURB, and GluA2. These Glutamate Receptor 2 antibodies are widely used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
