motifs/domains
  • a 14 aa signal peptide
  • a potential site for calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type 2
  • an extracellular ligand binding domain
  • four transmembrane segments
  • conjugated GlycoP
    mono polymer heteromer , trimer , complex
    isoforms Precursor
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Grin3b
    homolog to murine Nr3b
    intraspecies homolog to GRIN3A
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • glutamate-regulated superfamily of ion channels
  • N-methyl-D-asparate family
  • CATEGORY regulatory , receptor membrane , transport channel
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text postsynaptic membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • excitatory glycine receptor relatively Ca2+ impermeable and resistant to Mg2+
  • involved in synapse formation, in regulation of synaptic plasticity and neuronal death
  • suppressing glutamate induced currents, a NMDA receptor dominant negative
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development , nervous system
    text
  • development of synaptic elements by modulating NMDA receptor activity
  • ion transport
  • PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling neurotransmission
    a component
  • forming heteromeric channel of a zeta subunit (GRIN1), a epsilon subunit (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C or GRIN2D) and a third subunit (GRIN3A or GRIN3B)
  • found in a complex containing GRIN1 and GRIN2A
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Mg2+
  • protein
  • GRIN1 to form excitatory glycine receptor
  • cross-talk between GRIN3B and NR4A1 receptors is a mechanism modulating the transcriptional activities of these orphan nuclear receptors
  • co-expression of both GRIN3A and GRIN3B subunits is essential for the dominant negative properties on Ca(2+) mobilization through acquired functional NMDAR channels into mitochondria
