    basic FUNCTION
  • glutamate receptor KA2, ionotropic, kainate (2-carboxy-4-(1-methenylethenyl)-3-pyrrolidinacetic) class
  • acting as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system
  • glutamate-binding receptor that has been implicated in the regulation of neurotransmission in the brain and sensory organs
  • likely linked to the patterning and maintenance of the vasculature
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component homomeric associations do not produce any channel activity
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • associating with GRIK1 (both edited and unedited versions), GRIK2, or GRIK3 to form functional channels
  • interacting with GRIK2, GRIK1 AND KIF17
  • CAMK2A, CAMK2B-dependent phosphorylation of GRIK5 is responsible for synaptic depression by untrapping of kainate receptors (KARs) from the PSD and increased diffusion away from synaptic sites

  • Grik5-deficient embryos fail to pattern blood vessels in the brain, and this failure results in fewer, smaller branches
