(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
| Entrez gene ID | 2901 |
| Official gene symbol | GRIK5 |
| Full name | glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 5 |
| Aliases | ,EAA2,GRIK2,KA2, |
| 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. [provided by RefSeq] |
