The Glutamate Receptor, Ionotropic, Kainate 1 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of Glutamate Receptor, Ionotropic, Kainate 1 in various samples. Glutamate Receptor, Ionotropic, Kainate 1 is another term for the GRIK1 gene, which encodes the protein, glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 1 in humans. It has been reported that Glutamate Receptor, Ionotropic, Kainate 1 plays a role in nervous system development and chemical synaptic transmission, among other functions. Structurally, the GRIK1 protein is 918 amino acid residues in length and 104 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in the cerebellum and the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus. This protein is known to be glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include EAA3, EAA3, and EEA3.
