Human GRIK2 (Glutamate Receptor, Ionotropic, Kainate 2) ELISA Kit (HUES02441)

The GRIK2 gene encodes the GluK2 subunit of the kainate-type ionotropic glutamate receptor, a ligand-gated cation channel that mediates fast excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the central nervous system. Assay Genie's quantitative immunoassay kit targets this receptor protein in human samples and supports neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, including studies of synaptic plasticity, excitotoxicity, seizure mechanisms, and neurodevelopmental disorders linked to GRIK2 sequence variation.

Intended for in vitro research use only, the kit enables laboratories to profile GluK2 protein levels across cell culture lysates, tissue homogenates, and other biological matrices relevant to receptor expression studies. Researchers investigating kainate receptor subunit composition, post-translational regulation, or disease-associated changes in glutamate receptor signaling can pair the assay with complementary methods such as western blot, PCR, and immunohistochemistry validation to build a fuller picture of receptor biology at the protein level.
