Synonyms | GLUR5 |
Function | Ionotropic glutamate receptor. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chemical signal to an electrical impulse. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. May be involved in the transmission of light information from the retina to the hypothalamus. |

Tissue Location | Most abundant in the cerebellum and the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus |

Background
Glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 1, also known as GLUR5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GRIK1 gene. It is mapped to 21q21.3. This gene encodes one of the many ionotropic glutamate receptor (GluR) subunits that function as a ligand-gated ion channel. The specific GluR subunit encoded by this gene is of the kainate receptor subtype. Receptor assembly and intracellular trafficking of ionotropic glutamate receptors are regulated by RNA editing and alternative splicing. These receptors mediate excitatory neurotransmission and are critical for normal synaptic function. Exons of this gene are interspersed with exons from the C21or f41 gene, which is transcribed in the same orientation as this gene but does not seem to encode a protein.
