| Immunogen | A synthesized peptide derived from human GluR2 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. |

Biological background
GRIA2 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): RNA binding protein that regulates the expression of target mRNAs at the translation level. May play a role in the proliferation and maintenance of stem cells in the central nervous system (By similarity). . Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm. Associated with polysomes. . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Ubiquitous; detected at low levels. .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Amino Acids,Neuroscience,Neurotransmission,Neurotransmitter,Receptors / Channels.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate GRIA2 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect GRIA2 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect GRIA2 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize GRIA2 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Enrich GRIA2 by immunoprecipitation from lysates for downstream analysis
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 136 kDa; calculated MW: 35197 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
