Detection of KA2/GRIK5 in Human Brain Hippocampus. KA2/GRIK5 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Human Brain Hippocampus using Rabbit Anti-Human KA2/GRIK5 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB113341) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Rabbit IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC003). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in neurons.

Background: KA2/GRIK5

GRIK5 (Glutamate receptor, ionotropic kainate 5) is a receptor for glutamate and is one of the 5 types of kainate receptor subunits. L-Glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the CNS. The GRIK5 protein forms functional heteromic kainate-preferring ionic channels with the subunits encoded by related gene family members. Kainate receptors have both presynaptic and postsynaptic actions and a limited distribution in the brain. Kainate receptors have been shown to have connections with several neurological diseases and conditions. There is linkage to schizophrenia, depression, autism, Huntington's, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy among others. KA2 is relatively abundant in all areas of the brain, most notably in dentate gyrus, pyramidal neurons of CA3, cerebellar granule cells, as well as being present in superficial and deep laminae of the neocortex.
