Anti-GluK5 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the GluK5 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the GRIK5 gene, which encodes glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 5. This protein is known to function in carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis and cellular localization, among other biological roles. The human version of GluK5 has a canonical amino acid length of 980 residues and a protein mass of 109.3 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane of cells. Other names for this target antigen include EAA2, EAA2, and GRIK2. Western Blot is the most common application for the GluK5 antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
