Function
NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels with reduced single-channel conductance; low calcium permeability and low voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Mediated by glycine. During the development of neural circuits; plays a role in the synaptic refinement period; restricting spine maturation and growth. By competing with GIT1 interaction with ARHGEF7/beta-PIX; may reduce GIT1/ARHGEF7-regulated local activation of RAC1; hence affecting signaling and limiting the maturation and growth of inactive synapses. May also play a role in PPP2CB-NMDAR mediated signaling mechanism.
