GRIK5 - glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 5 Gene
Also Known as KA2; EAA2; GRIK2; GluK5
Species: Homo sapiens
About GRIK5
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 301 orthologues and 17 paralogues. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 5.6), brain (RPKM 5.5) and 14 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the glutamate-gated ionic channel family. Glutamate functions as the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system through activation of ligand-gated ion channels and G protein-coupled membrane receptors. The protein encoded by this gene forms functional heteromeric kainate-preferring ionic channels with the subunits encoded by related gene family members. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
