Synonyms | GLURD2 |
Function | 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). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Postsynaptic cell membrane; Multi- pass membrane protein |

Background
Human glutamate receptor delta-2 (GRID2) is a relativelynew member of the family of ionotropic glutamate receptors whichare the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in themammalian brain. GRID2 is a predicted 1,007 amino acid proteinthat shares 97% identity with the mouse homolog which is expressedselectively in cerebellar Purkinje cells. A point mutation inmouse GRID2, associated with the phenotype named 'lurcher', in theheterozygous state leads to ataxia resulting from selective,cell-autonomous apoptosis of cerebellar Purkinje cells duringpostnatal development. Mice homozygous for this mutation dieshortly after birth from massive loss of mid- and hindbrain neuronsduring late embryogenesis. This strongly suggests a role for GRID2in neuronal apoptotic death.
