Gene name

GRIK4 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

GluK4, GRIK, KA1

Description

Glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 4 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the glutamate-gated ionic channel family. Glutamate functions as the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system through activation of ligand-gated ion channels and G protein-coupled membrane receptors. The protein encoded by this gene forms functional heteromeric kainate-preferring ionic channels with the subunits encoded by related gene family members. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
