GRIK2
The majority of excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain are glutamate receptors, which are activated during a number of typical neurophysiologic processes. This gene product is a member of the four-subunit kainate family of glutamate receptors, which serve as ligand-activated ion channels. Multiple locations within the first and second transmembrane domains of the subunit that this gene encodes are sensitive to RNA editing, which is thought to change the form and functionality of the receptor complex. For this gene, several isoforms are encoded by alternatively spliced transcript variants.
