Product Details anti-GRIK4 Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 30-80, N-Term

Purification: Grik4 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

Immunogen: Grik4 antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of the human Grik4. The immunogen is located within amino acids 30 - 80 of Grik4.

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Grik4 antibody can be used for detection of Grik4 by Western blot at 0.5 - 2 μ,g/mL. Despite its predicted molecular weight, Grik4 often migrates at a lower molecular weight in SDS-PAGE. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.

Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for GRIK4

Target: GRIK4 (Glutamate Receptor, Ionotropic, Kainate 4 (GRIK4))

Alternative Name: Grik4

Background: Grik4 Antibody: Grik4 codes for the KA1 subunit of kainate-type ionotropic glutamate receptors which are critical regulators of network activity that act by modifying neuronal excitability, directly and indirectly, through GABAergic interneurons. Five subunits can assemble to form kainate receptors (KARs): GluR5 (coded by Grik1), GluR6 (coded by Grik2), and GluR7 (coded by Grik3) are the low-affinity subunits, and KA1 and KA2 are the high-affinity subunits. In the adult brain, KARs are located pre- and postsynaptically on pyramidal cells and on interneurons. Kainate receptors on GABA-containing interneurons enhance GABA release and thereby downregulate glutamatergic signaling. KARs have been implicated in numerous psychiatric disorders. Case control studies show significant association of Grik4 with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
