Gene nameGRIN3A
Protein nameGlutamate receptor
Glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 3A (GluN3A) (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subtype 3A) (NMDAR3A) (NR3A) (NMDAR-L)
SynonymsKIAA1973
DescriptionFUNCTION: NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels with reduced single-channel conductance, low calcium permeability and low voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Mediated by glycine. During the development of neural circuits, plays a role in the synaptic refinement period, restricting spine maturation and growth. By competing with GIT1 interaction with ARHGEF7/beta-PIX, may reduce GIT1/ARHGEF7-regulated local activation of RAC1, hence affecting signaling and limiting the maturation and growth of inactive synapses. May also play a role in PPP2CB-NMDAR mediated signaling mechanism. .

FUNCTION: Receptor for glutamate that functions as a ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. .
