| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables NMDA glutamate receptor activity and calcium channel activity. Involved in glutamate receptor signaling pathway and regulation of synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including excitatory postsynaptic potential; learning or memory; and long-term synaptic potentiation. Located in several cellular components, including postsynaptic density; synaptic membrane; and synaptic vesicle. Part of NMDA selective glutamate receptor complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; hindlimb phalanx; intestine; and limb mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Huntington's disease; alcohol dependence; bipolar disorder; colorectal cancer; and heroin dependence. Orthologous to human GRIN2A (glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit jumpiness, mildly impaired long-term potentiation and spatial learning, increased locomotor activity and metabolism of dopamine and serotonin, and loss of analgesic tolerance after repeated morphine doses.
