id: Q71E65 gene_symbol: gria1a product_type: PROTEIN status: COMPLETE taxon: id: NCBITaxon:7955 label: Danio rerio description: gria1a (glutamate receptor, ionotropic, AMPA 1a) is one of two zebrafish co-orthologs of vertebrate GRIA1 (GluA1), retained from the teleost-specific genome duplication; its paralog is gria1b. It encodes an AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptor subunit, a four-segment membrane protein that assembles into tetrameric glutamate-gated cation channels at excitatory postsynaptic sites and mediates fast excitatory synaptic transmission. The protein keeps the glutamate-binding residues, the channel pore and M2-M3 gating segment, and the C-terminal phosphorylation serines of mammalian GluA1, and it is the more conserved of the two copies. gria1a is expressed by 24 hours post-fertilization in many neuronal populations of the developing brain (including telencephalon, olfactory bulb, habenula, thalamus, hypothalamus, tectum and hindbrain), retina and spinal cord, and is the more abundant copy in larvae. No loss-of-function study of gria1a alone has been reported. existing_annotations: - term: id: GO:0004971 label: AMPA glutamate receptor activity evidence_type: IBA original_reference_id: GO_REF:0000033 qualifier: enables supporting_entities: - MGI:MGI:95808 - PANTHER:PTN000438081 - RGD:61862 - RGD:61863 - RGD:621531 - RGD:70958 - UniProtKB:P42261 - UniProtKB:P42263 - UniProtKB:P48058 review: summary: AMPA glutamate receptor activity propagated from the AMPA-receptor node PTN000438081 (donors include human GRIA1 and rodent Gria1-4). action: ACCEPT reason: gria1a is a GRIA1 co-ortholog inside the AMPA-receptor clade and keeps every glutamate-binding residue annotated on human GRIA1, the pore loop and the M2-M3 segment.
