Gene Information

human ... GRIK2(2898)

General description

GRIK2 is a ligand-gated, ion channel glutamate receptor that belongs to the kainite family. Genetic variations in GRIK2 have been linked to mental retardation, mania and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
Rabbit Anti-GRIK2 antibody recognizes canine, bovine, human, mouse, and rat GRIK2.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human GRIK2

Application

Rabbit Anti-GRIK2 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 2.5 μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GRIK2 encodes a subunit of a kainate glutamate receptor. Glutamate receptors mediate the majority of excitatory neurotransmission in the brain. This receptor may have a role in synaptic plasticity and may be important for learning and memory. It also may be involved in the transmission of light information from the retina to the hypothalamus.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: LSRAILDLVQFFKWKTVTVVYDDSTGLIRLQELIKAPSRYNLRLKIRQLP

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Several lines of evidence suggest that obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) could be the consequence of glutamatergic dysfunction. We performed a case-control study in 156 patients and 141 controls and the transmission disequilibrium test in 124 parent-offspring trios to search for

Nonsyndromic mental retardation is one of the most important unresolved problems in genetic health care. Autosomal forms are far more common than X-linked forms, but, in contrast to the latter, they are still largely unexplored. Here, we report a complex

The glutamate receptor 6 (GluR6 or GRIK2, one of the kainate receptors) gene resides in a genetic linkage region (6q21) associated with bipolar disorder (BPD), but its function in affective regulation is unknown. Compared with wild-type (WT) and GluR5 knockout
