Human GRIK2 ELISA Kit (HUFI04027)

GluK2, the ionotropic kainate receptor subunit encoded by the GRIK2 gene on chromosome 6q16.3, is the target analyte measured by Assay Genie's Human GRIK2 ELISA Kit. Predominantly expressed in central nervous system neurons, GRIK2 contributes to excitatory neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. The protein has been implicated in research on epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and Huntington's disease pathogenesis. The absorbance-based microplate format allows laboratories investigating glutamate receptor biology, neuropharmacology, and CNS biomarker discovery to detect GRIK2 protein levels in human research samples. Each kit provides reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations, supporting high-throughput screening of patient cohorts or experimental disease models. Researchers can apply this kit to studies of kainate receptor expression regulation, drug response investigations, and neurodegenerative biomarker validation programs. Reagents should be refrigerated upon receipt, and assay performance validated with appropriate internal controls before drawing research conclusions.
