Anti-GRIK2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 908 amino acid residues and a mass of 102.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. Up to 7 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) protein family, GRIK2 is known to be involved with chemical synaptic transmission and the regulation of intracellular calcium. Synonyms for this target antigen include GLR6, GLUK6, GLUR6, GluK2, MRT6, NEDLAS, glutamate receptor ionotropic, kainate 2, and EAA4. GRIK2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of GRIK2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
