Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Immunohistochemistry 3.75 ug/ml
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 3.75 ug/ml
  • Peptide ELISA Detection limit 1:32000
  • Western Blot 1 ug/ml
• Application Notes: Western blot: Preliminary experiments gave an approx. 26kDa band in Human Brain (Frontal Cortex and Hippocampus) lysates after 1ug/ml antibody staining. Please note that currently we can not find an explanation in the literature for the band we observe given the calculated size of 109kDa according to NP_002079.3. The 26kDa band was successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide.
  IHC: Paraffin embedded Human Brain (Cortex).

Background

Glutamate receptor KA2 is a protein that interacts with glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter, in the central nervous system and that has two isoforms, measuring 980 and 981 amino acids in length, with weights of approximately 109 and 110 kDa respectively. Current studies are being done on diseases and disorders related to this protein including temporal lobe epilepsy, embryonal carcinoma, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, retinoblastoma, neruoblastoma, thyroiditis, and neuronitis. Glutamate receptor KA2 has also been shown to have interactions with GOLM1, GPAA1, LRSAM1, DLG4, and GRID2 in pathways such as the glutamic acid signaling, transmission across chemical synapses, and activation of kainite receptor pathways.
