Synonyms | GLUR7 |
Function | Receptor for glutamate that functions as a ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission. 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. This receptor binds domoate > kainate >> L-glutamate = quisqualate >> AMPA = NMDA. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |

Background
Glutamate receptors are the predominant excitatoryneurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain and are activatedin a variety of normal neurophysiologic processes. This geneproduct belongs to the kainate family of glutamate receptors, whichare composed of four subunits and function as ligand-activated ionchannels. It is not certain if the subunit encoded by this gene issubject to RNA editing as the other 2 family members (GRIK1 andGRIK2). A Ser310Ala polymorphism has been associated withschizophrenia, and there are conflicting reports of its associationwith the pathogenesis of delirium tremens in alcoholics. [providedby RefSeq].
