Gene Description

GRIA4 encodes GluA4, an AMPA receptor subunit that converts glutamate binding into postsynaptic cation currents. Recombinant human flip GluA4 homomers show fast desensitization and recovery in HEK293 recordings. De novo variants cause neurodevelopmental disorder with variable seizures and gait abnormalities.

Reason: AN628 inherits AN396/PTN000438081. Human flip GluA4 plus Ξ³8 conducts glutamate-evoked current in HEK293T cells; target self-inclusion is legitimate descendant evidence.

ACCEPT
Reason: Human flip GluA4 coexpressed with Ξ³8 in HEK293T cells conducts glutamate-evoked current. These recombinant channel experiments support AMPA receptor activity without establishing a presynaptic preparation.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
TOO GENERAL
Reason: PTN000437926 and PTN001826301 are distinct inherited assertions on the target lineage. Retained PSD-membrane activity entails this broader plasma-membrane activity.
GO:0005886 plasma membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000044

ISS
GO_REF:0000024

Reason: P48058 occurs in the plasma-membrane product of receptor insertion. Retained located_in postsynaptic membrane (GO:0045211) specifies this pool; GRIA4 is receptor cargo here.
GO:0005886 plasma membrane
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-416639
TOO GENERAL
Reason: The insertion product contains plasma-membrane P48058. Retained unextended located_in postsynaptic membrane (GO:0045211) is more specific; no trafficking-enzyme activity is assigned to GRIA4.

TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-421007
TOO GENERAL
Reason: The internalization input contains plasma-membrane P48058. Retained located_in postsynaptic membrane (GO:0045211) specifies that pool; the phosphoserine label belongs to GluR2, not GRIA4.
GO:0005886 plasma membrane
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-438037
TOO GENERAL
Reason: The sodium-conducting catalyst complex resolves to plasma-membrane P48058. Retained unextended located_in postsynaptic membrane (GO:0045211) preserves that location at greater specificity.
GO:0005886 plasma membrane
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-8849881
TOO GENERAL
Reason: The AMPA branch of the SALM2-associated receptor set explicitly contains plasma-membrane P48058. Retained located_in postsynaptic membrane (GO:0045211) is more specific; this is not an NMDA-subunit assignment.
GO:0006811 monoatomic ion transport

GO:0030425 dendrite
IEA

ACCEPT
Reason: Dendritic localization is supported; spine comparators change relation or add hippocampal restriction.
GO:0030425 dendrite
ISS
GO_REF:0000024

Reason: Retain dendritic localization; narrower spine localization is hippocampal-restricted, while unextended spine activity changes relation.

GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Reason: Explicit Reactome P48058 target chains independently support the endocytic-vesicle membrane pool. This is receptor trafficking, without implying channel activity inside that compartment.
GO:0030666 endocytic vesicle membrane
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-416320
KEEP AS NON CORE
Reason: P48058 is an explicit endocytic-vesicle membrane member of the insertion input. Retain this trafficking pool without assigning the event's kinase activity to receptor cargo.
GO:0030666 endocytic vesicle membrane
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-416639
KEEP AS NON CORE
Reason: The insertion input contains P48058 at endocytic-vesicle membrane. Retain this receptor trafficking pool; the event does not establish channel conduction within the vesicle.
GO:0030666 endocytic vesicle membrane
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-421007
KEEP AS NON CORE
Reason: The internalization output explicitly contains P48058 at endocytic-vesicle membrane. This supports a trafficking location, without making GRIA4 the machinery that internalizes receptors.

GO:0035235 ionotropic glutamate receptor signaling pathway
IEA

Reason: Glutamate-evoked channel opening is a direct step of ionotropic receptor signaling. This supports participation without requiring a separate intracellular catalytic activity.
GO:0035249 synaptic transmission, glutamatergic
IBA
GO_REF:0000033

Reason: Inherited AN72/PTN001826301 supports glutamatergic transmission. GRIA4 receptor conductance performs the postsynaptic signaling step; no presynaptic release function is implied.
GO:0038023 signaling receptor activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
TOO GENERAL
Reason: The signaling-receptor assignment is entailed by retained AMPA glutamate receptor activity (GO:0004971); the narrower enables annotation identifies the mechanism.

Reason: Retain the curator-supported rat hippocampal soma localization as a peripheral receptor pool; human transfer and cell restriction remain explicit.
GO:0043197 dendritic spine
IBA
GO_REF:0000033

Core Functions

GluA4-containing AMPA receptors couple glutamate binding to postsynaptic cation conductance. AMPA selectivity and postsynaptic-potential regulation describe the same channel activity; permeability depends on assembly.
