Function: Receptor for glutamate that functions as ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission. 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. In the presence of CACNG4 or CACNG7 or CACNG8, shows resensitization which is characterized by a delayed accumulation of current flux upon continued application of glutamate. Through complex formation with NSG1, GRIP1 and STX12 controls the intracellular fate of AMPAR and the endosomal sorting of the GRIA2 subunit toward recycling and membrane targeting (PubMed:16037816). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12015593, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12501192, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12730367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12872125, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15591246, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16037816, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16192394, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16483599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018279, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19265014, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19946266, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547133, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21172611, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21317873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21846932, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9351977}.
 
Subunit: Homotetramer or heterotetramer of pore-forming glutamate receptor subunits. Tetramers may be formed by the dimerization of dimers. May interact with MPP4. Forms a ternary complex with GRIP1 and CSPG4 (By similarity). Interacts with ATAD1 in an ATP-dependent manner. ATAD1-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis disrupts binding to ATAD1 and to GRIP1 and leads to AMPAR complex disassembly. Interacts with NSF via its C- terminus. Interacts with CACNG2, PRKCABP and GRIP2 (PubMed:27756895). Part of a complex containing GRIA2, NSF and NAPA and/or NAPB. Interacts with PICK1 (via PDZ domain) (By similarity). Interacts with GRIA1 and SYNDIG1. Interacts with SNX27 (via PDZ domain); the interaction is required for recycling to the plasma membrane when endocytosed and prevent degradation in lysosomes (By similarity). Interacts with LRFN1. Found in a complex with GRIA3, GRIA4, CNIH2, CNIH3, CACNG2, CACNG3, CACNG4, CACNG5, CACNG7 and CACNG8. Interacts with CACNG5. Interacts with OLFM2 (By similarity). Interacts with AP4B1, AP4E1 and AP4M1; probably indirect it mediates the somatodendritic localization of GRIA2 in neurons (By similarity). Forms a complex with NSG1, GRIA2 and STX12; controls the intracellular fate of AMPAR and the endosomal sorting of the GRIA2 subunit toward recycling and membrane targeting (PubMed:16037816). Interacts with IQSEC1; the interaction is required for ARF6 activation (PubMed:20547133). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23819, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10027300, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10414981, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12015593, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12501192, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16037816, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16483599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16630835, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16793768, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18817736, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19234459, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19265014, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19946266, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547133, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21317873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21496646, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27756895, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9069286, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9697855, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9804426}.
