Additional Information
Dilution	WB 1:500~1:2000 IHC 1:50~1:200
Purification	Affinity-chromatography
Immunogen	A synthesized peptide derived from human GRIK2
Description	Ionotropic glutamate receptor. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chemical signal to an electrical impulse.
Storage Condition and Buffer	Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline , pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. Store at +4°C short term. Store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze / thaw cycle.

Protein Information
Name	GRIK2
Synonyms	GLUR6
Function	Ionotropic glutamate receptor that functions as a cation- permeable ligand-gated ion channel, gated by L-glutamate and the glutamatergic agonist kainic acid (PubMed:7536611, PubMed:8730589, PubMed:14511640). L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system (By similarity). Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate induces a conformational change leading to the opening of the cation channel, converting the chemical signal to an electrical impulse (By similarity). The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist (PubMed:14511640, PubMed:28180184, PubMed:34375587, PubMed:7536611, PubMed:8730589). Modulates cell surface expression of NETO2 (By similarity). In association with GRIK3, involved in presynaptic facilitation of glutamate release at hippocampal mossy fiber synapses (By similarity).
Cellular Location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:P42260}. Postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:P42260}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250\|UniProtKB:P42260}
Tissue Location	Expression is higher in cerebellum than in cerebral cortex.
