Gene information for GRIN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2902
Official gene symbolGRIN1
Full nameglutamate receptor, ionotropic, N-methyl D-aspartate 1
Aliases,NMDA1,NMDAR1,NR1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a critical subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, members of the glutamate receptor channel superfamily which are heteromeric protein complexes with multiple subunits arranged to form a ligand-gated ion channel. These subunits play a key role in the plasticity of synapses, which is believed to underlie memory and learning. Cell-specific factors are thought to control expression of different isoforms, possibly contributing to the functional diversity of the subunits. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
