Relevance 

KA1 is a high affinity subunit of kainate-type ionotropic glutamate receptors which are critical regulators of network activity that act by modifying neuronal excitability, directly and indirectly, through GABAergic interneurons. Kainate receptors on GABA-containing interneurons enhance GABA release and thereby downregulate glutamatergic signaling. KARs have been implicated in numerous psychiatric disorders. Case control studies show significant association of KA1 with both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Predicted band size : 107 kDa
Observed band size : <97 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)
Additional bands at : 108 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.

N.B. Despite its predicted molecular weight, KA1 often migrates at a lower molecular weight in SDS-PAGE.
