description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables AMPA glutamate receptor activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in long-term memory; receptor internalization; and synapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to ammonium ion; chemical synaptic transmission; and long-term synaptic depression. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite membrane; neuron spine; and perisynaptic space. Part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Is active in excitatory synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study schizoaffective disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder; autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 76; and epilepsy. Orthologous to human GRIA1 (glutamate ionotropic receptor AMPA type subunit 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice with mutations in phosphorylation sites have LTD and LTP deficits and spatial learning memory defects. Null homozygotes also show stimulus-reward learning deficits and increases locomotor activity and context-dependent sensitization to amphetamine. [provided by MGI curators] |
