SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,vesicle

basic FUNCTION	mediating the fast component of excitatory post synaptic currents in the central nervous system
	predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain
	likely involvement of the GRIA4 subunit in cognitive function
	GRIA4 defines the signaling requirements for long-term potentiation (LTP) and silent synapse activation during a critical period of synapse development
	is critical for neonatal long-term potentiation
	GRIA4 enables likely efficient homeostatic upscaling and responsiveness to temporal activity patterns during the critical period of activity-dependent refinement of the circuitry
	GRIA4-mediated activation of silent synapses is a critical mechanism facilitating the functional maturation of glutamatergic circuitry during the critical period of experience-dependent fine-tunin
	GRIA4-containing AMPAR are expressed in epidermal keratinocytes, and pruritic and painful dermatopathologies have alterations in the keratinocyte expression levels of GRIA4-containing AMPAR
