Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of AMPA, an alias of the protein, glutamate ionotropic receptor AMPA type subunit 3. The official gene symbol is GRIA3. The kits can detect several species variants of the protein, including: human, mouse, and rat. The protein, with a mass of 101.2 kDa and length of 894 residues, is reported to be membrane-associated. It is a member of the Glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family, GRIA3 subfamily and may be known by other names, including: glutamate receptor ionotrophic AMPA 3, glutamate receptor subunit 3, gluR-3, dJ1171F9.1, AMPA-selective glutamate receptor 3, and glutamate receptor 3, and GLUR-C.
