UniProt functional annotation for Q8VHN2

UniProt code: Q8VHN2.

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
 
Function: NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels with reduced single-channel conductance, low calcium permeability and low voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Mediated by glycine.
 
Subunit: Forms heteromeric channel of a zeta subunit (GRIN1), a epsilon subunit (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C or GRIN2D) and a third subunit (GRIN3A or GRIN3B). Does not form functional homomeric channels. Found in a complex containing GRIN1 and GRIN2A (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250}. Note=Requires the presence of GRIN1 to be targeted at the plasma membrane. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in the hippocampus, the corpus callosum, in the facial and trigeminal nuclei of the brainstem and the ventral horn of the spinal cord. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11735224, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11823786}.
Similarity: Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family. NR3B/GRIN3B subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
