UniProt functional annotation for P41594

UniProt code: P41594.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling activates a phosphatidylinositol- calcium second messenger system and generates a calcium-activated chloride current. Plays an important role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and the modulation of the neural network activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25042998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7908515}.
 
Subunit: The PPXXF motif binds HOMER1, HOMER2 and HOMER3. Interacts with SIAH1, RYR1, RYR2, ITPR1, SHANK1, SHANK3 and TAMALIN. Interacts with NCDN (By similarity). Isoform 2 interacts with NECAB2 (PubMed:19694902). Interacts with CAMK2A (PubMed:28130356). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19694902, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28130356}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25042998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7908515}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25042998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7908515}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. {ECO:0000305}.
