Anti-GRIK1

Polyclonal Antibody against Human GRIK1, Gene description: glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 1, Alternative Gene Names: GluK1, GLUR5, Validated applications: ICC, Uniprot ID: P39086, Storage: Store at +4°C for short term storage. Long time storage is recommended at -20°C. Protein function: 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. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. May be involved in the transmission of light information from the retina to the hypothalamus. [The UniProt Consortium] Mouse gene identity: 90% Rat gene identity: 90%
