Gria2 (rat, P19491) review notes

Setup

Core picture

  1. Pore-forming, ligand-binding AMPA receptor subunit (GO:0004971) in the AMPA receptor complex
    (GO:0032281), acting at the postsynaptic density membrane of glutamatergic synapses; the edited
    Q/R site (R607) makes GluA2-containing receptors Ca2+-impermeable [UniProt RNA EDITING;
    PMID:1653450].
  2. C-terminal tail is a trafficking hub: PDZ ligand binds GRIP1/ABP/PICK1 (GO:0030165), NSF binds
    a membrane-proximal motif, AP-2 binds a basic motif; this controls synaptic delivery, clustering,
    recycling and LTD-associated endocytosis [PMID:9069286; PMID:9697854; PMID:17289840].
