UniProt functional annotation for Q9Z2W9



	UniProt functional annotation for Q9Z2W9

UniProt code: Q9Z2W9.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.

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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subunit: Homotetramer or heterotetramer of pore-forming glutamate receptor subunits. Tetramers may be formed by the dimerization of dimers. Interacts with PRKCABP, GRIP1 and GRIP2 (By similarity). Found in a complex with GRIA1, GRIA2, GRIA4, CNIH2, CNIH3, CACNG2, CACNG3, CACNG4, CACNG5, CACNG7 and CACNG8. Interacts with CACNG5 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Interaction with CNIH2 and CNIH3 promotes cell surface expression. {ECO:0000250}.

Domain: The M4 transmembrane segment mediates tetramerization and is required for cell surface expression. {ECO:0000250}.

Ptm: Palmitoylated. Depalmitoylated upon glutamate stimulation. Cys-615 palmitoylation leads to Golgi retention and decreased cell surface expression. In contrast, Cys-841 palmitoylation does not affect cell surface expression but regulates stimulation-dependent endocytosis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Miscellaneous: The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. This receptor binds AMPA (quisqualate) > glutamate > kainate.

Similarity: Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family. GRIA3 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.

Sequence caution: Sequence=BAD90527.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
