GRIA 3
- OMIM: 305915
- UniProt: P42263
- MGI: 95810
The Glutamate receptor, ionotrophic, AMPA 3, also known as GRIA3, is a human protein.
Glutamate receptors are the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the brain of mammals. They are heteromeric protein complexes that are composed of different subunits. Each subunit has a transmembrane domain. Together, they form a ligand-gated ion channel. The glutamate receptors of the type GRIA 1-4 ( also GluR1 -4) are due to its activation by the agonists alpha- amino-3- hydroxy-5- methyl-4- isoxazole propionate to the so-called AMPA receptors. GRIA 3 is also expressed on lymphocytes, and was treated as a candidate gene for various disorders, including Rett syndrome, encephalitis, Rasmussen, bipolar disorder, and X -linked mental redardation syndrome Smith- Fineman -Myers.
