Anti-GRIK2 Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com targets GRIK2, the glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 2, a member of the kainate-class ionotropic glutamate receptor family that mediates fast excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the central nervous system. Supplied at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol as a cryoprotectant, the 100 µl aliquot supports standard short-term bench use and survives repeated freeze-thaw cycles when stored refrigerated between experiments.

Validated for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence workflows, the antibody cross-reacts with human, mouse, and rat GRIK2, enabling comparative neuroscience studies of kainate receptor expression and subcellular localization across species and tissue preparations. As an unconjugated polyclonal, it accepts downstream conjugation to fluorophores, biotin, or HRP and integrates readily into cell culture and fixed tissue staining panels, as well as lysate-based detection of receptor subunit expression changes.
