Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

|---|---|
| Synonyms | GRIK2 |
| Function | Ionotropic glutamate receptor that functions as a cation- permeable ligand-gated ion channel, gated by L-glutamate and the glutamatergic agonist kainic acid. Cannot form functional channels on its own and produces channel activity only in heteromeric assembly with GRIK1 and GRIK2 subunits (PubMed:1321949, PubMed:14511640, PubMed:8730589). Can form functional heteromeric receptors with GRIK3 (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61626}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Presynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61626}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Association with GRIK2 is required for its cell membrane localization and channel activity |
