GRIK5

GRIK5, glutamate ionotropic receptor erythrocyanine subunit 5, alias KA2, EAA2, GRIK2, GluK5. GRIK5 is encoded by the human GRIK5 gene, which is located in the q13.2 region of chromosome 19.
GRIK5 is a protein belonging to the glutamate-gated ion channel family, and forms functional heteropolyerythrocyanine-preferred ion channels with subunits encoded by members of the related gene family. GRIK5 plays a role as a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system through the activation of ligand-gated ion channels, and is involved in the regulation of excitatory postsynaptic potential, glutamatergic synaptic transmission, and the fusion of synaptic vesicles into the membrane of the presynaptic active zone. region membrane regulation.
GRIK5 is associated with a variety of neurological functions, including biomarkers for visual epilepsy and temporal lobe epilepsy, as well as with a variety of human disorders, such as eye diseases and vascular phenomena.
