Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of glycine receptor, alpha 4 subunit, an alias of the protein, glycine receptor alpha 4. The official gene symbol is GLRA4. The protein, with a mass of 47.7 kDa and length of 417 residues, is reported to be membrane-associated. It is a member of the Ligand-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.9) family, Glycine receptor (TC 1.A.9.3) subfamily, GLRA4 sub-subfamily and may be known by other names, including: glycine receptor subunit alpha-4.
