General annotation (Comments)

Function

Ionotropic glutamate receptor. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chemical signal to an electrical impulse. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. May be involved in the transmission of light information from the retina to the hypothalamus. Modulates cell surface expression of NETO2. Ref.6

Subunit structure

Homotetramer or heterotetramer of pore-forming glutamate receptor subunits. Tetramers may be formed by the dimerization of dimers Probable. Assembles into a kainate-gated homomeric channel that does not bind AMPA. GRIK2 associated to GRIK5 forms functional channels that can be gated by AMPA. Interacts with DLG4 By similarity. Interacts (via C-terminus) with KLHL17 (via kelch repeats); the interaction targets GRIK2 for degradation via ubiquitin-proteasome pathway By similarity. Interacts with NETO2. Ref.6

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junctionsynapsepostsynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Most abundant in the cerebellum and the hypothalamus.

Developmental stage

Expressed during brain development. Expression drops in the adult.

Post-translational modification

Sumoylation mediates kainate receptor-mediated endocytosis and regulates synaptic transmission. Sumoylation is enhanced by PIAS3 and desumoylated by SENP1 By similarity.

Ubiquitinated. Ubiquitination regulates the GRIK2 levels at the synapse by leading kainate receptor degradation through proteasome By similarity.

Miscellaneous

The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. This receptor binds domoate > kainate > quisqualate > 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione > L-glutamate = 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione > dihydrokainate By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family. GRIK2 subfamily. [View classification]

RNA editing

Edited at positions 567, 571 and 621.
Partially edited. The presence of Gln at position 621 (non-edited) determines channels with low calcium permeability, whereas Arg (edited) determines a higher calcium permeability especially if the preceding sites are fully edited By similarity. Ref.3 Ref.4
