GRIK1 - glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 1 Gene
Also Known as EAA3; EEA3; GLR5; GLUR5; GluK1; gluR-5
Species: Homo sapiens
About GRIK1
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 309 orthologues and 17 paralogues. Biased expression in adrenal (RPKM 3.8), brain (RPKM 1.9) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
Glutamate receptors are the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain and are activated in a variety of normal neurophysiologic processes. This gene product belongs to the kainate family of glutamate receptors, which are composed of four subunits and function as ligand-activated ion channels. The subunit encoded by this gene is subject to RNA editing (CAG->CGG; Q->R) within the second transmembrane domain, which is thought to alter the properties of ion flow. Alternative splicing, resulting in transcript variants encoding different isoforms, has been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
