AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are comprised of four subunits (GluA 1-4), which assemble as homo- or hetero-tetramers to mediate the majority of fast excitatory transmissions in the central nervous system. AMPARs are implicated in synapse formation, stabilization, and plasticity (1). In contrast to GluA 2-containing AMPARs, AMPARs that lack GluA 2 are permeable to calcium (2). Post-transcriptional modifications (alternative splicing, nuclear RNA editing) and post-translational modifications (glycosylation, phosphorylation) result in a very large number of permutations, fine-tuning the kinetic properties of AMPARs. Research studies have implicated activity changes in AMPARs in a variety of diseases including Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), stroke, and epilepsy (1). GluR 4 containing AMPA receptors are found in synapses and GluR 4 delivery to synapses and cell surface expression is mediated through phosphorylation of Ser842 by PKA or PKC (3).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nAMPA-selective glutamate receptor 4; GluA4; GluR-4; GluR-D; GLUR4; GLUR4C; GLURD; glutamate ionotropic receptor AMPA type subunit 4; Glutamate receptor 4; Glutamate receptor ionotropic, AMPA 4; glutamate receptor, ionotrophic, AMPA 4; glutamate receptor, ionotropic, AMPA 4; GRIA4; NEDSGA\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 100\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799461056681,"sku":"3825S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-3825s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
