Scientific Data Images for Human GluR6/GRIK2 Antibody

Detection of Human GluR6/GRIK2 by Western Blot.

Western Blot shows lysates of HEK293T human embryonic kidney cell line either mock transfected or transfected with human GluR6/GRIK2+GFP. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/ml of Mouse Anti-Human GluR6/GRIK2 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11512) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for GluR6/GRIK2 at approximately 130 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.

Background: GluR6/GRIK2

The Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors are a family of ligand-gated ion channels involved in regulating fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS) (1, 2). The family consists of ~18 members which is divided into 3 groups based on the activating agonist: N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA), alpha -Amino-3-hydroxy-5-Methyl-4-isoxazole Propionic Acid (AMPA) and kainate (KA) (1, 2). KA receptors (KAR) are found in the pre- and postsynaptic membranes of the central nervous system, most prominently in the hippocampus, where they regulate synaptic transmission, neuronal excitability, and network activity (3). Glutamate receptor 6 (GluR6) (also Glutamate receptor ionotropic, kainate 2 or GluK2) along with GluR5, GluR7 and receptor subunits KA1 and KA2 belong to the KAR sub-group as these molecules are activated by kainic acid (1-3). Mature human GluR6 is a 3-transmembrane protein with a long (530 aa) N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD), a M2 domain involved in pore formation and a short C-terminal intracellular domain (4). The ECD of human GluR6 is highly conserved and shares 99% identity with both mouse and rat. Under physiological conditions, GluR6 forms either a homomeric or heteromeric receptor channel with GluR5 or KA1/2 to become functional (5, 6). Activation of KAR complexes result in Ca2+-dependent release of glutamatergic or GABAergic signals (7). The modulatory role of KARs make them attractive therapeutic candidates as glutamate excitotoxicity has been associated with multiple neurodegenerative and mental disorders. Misregulation of GluR6 has been suggested to be a factor in autism, Huntington disease and epilepsy (8). Additionally, GluR6 has been suggested to play a role in tumor suppression in Gastric cancer (9) while potentially displaying the opposite effect in urological cancers (10).
