Biological background

GRIK4 (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. Reported cellular localization context: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Ubiquitous. .

Research relevance and current trends

• Research context keywords from the source record include: Actin Assembly,Actin, etc.,Cytoskeleton,Cytoskeleton/ECM,Microfilaments,Signal Transduction.
• 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.

Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate GRIK4 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect GRIK4 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Compare relative GRIK4 levels across experimental conditions (dose/time-course) using antibody-based readouts

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: 107 kDa; calculated MW: 49831 MW).
• Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.

Additional product details (from the source record)

• Molecular weight (observed): 107 kDa
• Cellular localization (provided): Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.
• Tissue details (provided): Ubiquitous. .
