Function
Ionotropic glutamate receptor that functions as a cation-permeable ligand-gated ion channel; gated by L-glutamate and the glutamatergic agonist kainic acid. 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.

Disease
Location
Expressed in the olfactory bulb (at protein level) (PubMed:10023812). Expressed in subsets of neurons throughout the developing and adult central and peripheral nervous systems. In the CNS principally in the medial amygdaloid nuclei; medial habenulae; pyriform and cingulate cortices; and Purkinje cell layer. In the CNS principally in the medial amygdaloid nuclei; medial habenulae; pyriform and cingulate cortices; and Purkinje cell layer. In the CNS principally in the medial amygdaloid nuclei; medial habenulae; pyriform and cingulate cortices; and Purkinje cell layer. Also highly expressed in embryonic and adult dorsal root ganglia (PubMed:1977421). Expressed at high levels in the trigeminal ganglion neurons (PubMed:9254673).
