Anti-GRIA4

Polyclonal Antibody against Human GRIA4, Gene description: glutamate ionotropic receptor AMPA type subunit 4, Alternative Gene Names: GluA4, GLUR4, GLURD, Validated applications: ICC, Uniprot ID: P48058, Storage: Store at +4°C for short term storage. Long time storage is recommended at -20°C. Protein function: Receptor for glutamate that functions as ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission. 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. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. In the presence of CACNG4 or CACNG7 or CACNG8, shows resensitization which is characterized by a delayed accumulation of current flux upon continued application of glutamate.
