Function
Ionotropic glutamate receptor that functions as a cation-permeable ligand-gated ion channel; gated by L-glutamate and the glutamatergic agonist kainic acid. Cannot form functional channels on its own and shows channel activity only in heteromeric assembly with GRIK1; GRIK2 and GRIK3 subunits.
