Function | Member of the ionotropic glutamate receptor family, which plays a crucial role in synaptic organization and signal transduction in the central nervous system. Although it shares structural features with ionotropic glutamate receptors, does not bind glutamate as a primary ligand (PubMed:34936451). Promotes synaptogenesis and mediates the D-Serine-dependent long term depression signals and AMPA receptor endocytosis of cerebellar parallel fiber-Purkinje cell (PF-PC) synapses through the NRX1B-CBLN1-GRID2 triad complex (PubMed:27418511). In the presence of neurexins and cerebellins, forms cation-selective channels that are proposed to be gated by glycine and D-serine (PubMed:34936451). However, recent research disputes this ligand-gated cation channel activity (PubMed:39052831). Cation-selective ion channel activity can be triggered by GRM1 in Purkinje cells (PubMed:24357660, PubMed:27276689). |

Background
Receptor for glutamate. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. Promotes synaptogenesis and mediates the D-Serine- dependent long term depression signals and AMPA receptor endocytosis of cerebellar parallel fiber-Purkinje cell (PF-PC) synapses through the beta-NRX1-CBLN1-GRID2 triad complex (PubMed:27418511).
