FunFam 637: Glutamate receptor IIC
Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Ionotropic glutamate receptor activity GO:0004970
Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens when glutamate has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.
|
1 | Q9VPV3 (/IC) |
|
Glutamate receptor activity GO:0008066
Combining with glutamate and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity.
|
1 | Q9VPV3 (/NAS) |
|
Kainate selective glutamate receptor activity GO:0015277
An ionotropic glutamate receptor activity that exhibits fast gating by glutamate, acts by opening a cation channel permeable to sodium and potassium, and for which kainate is an agonist.
|
1 | Q9VPV3 (/ISS) |
|
Glutamate-gated calcium ion channel activity GO:0022849
Enables the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a channel that opens when glutamate has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts.

|
Calcium ion transport GO:0006816
The directed movement of calcium (Ca) ions into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
|
1 | Q9VPV3 (/IDA) |
|
Chemical synaptic transmission GO:0007268
The vesicular release of classical neurotransmitter molecules from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of neurotransmitter receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse.
|
1 | Q9VPV3 (/IMP) |
|
Neuromuscular synaptic transmission GO:0007274
The process of synaptic transmission from a neuron to a muscle, across a synapse.
|
1 | Q9VPV3 (/IEP) |
|
Synaptic transmission, glutamatergic GO:0035249
The vesicular release of glutamate from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of glutamate receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse.

|
Establishment of protein localization GO:0045184
The directed movement of a protein to a specific location.

Ionotropic glutamate receptor complex GO:0008328
A multimeric assembly of four or five subunits which form a structure with an extracellular N-terminus and a large loop that together form the ligand binding domain. The C-terminus is intracellular. The ionotropic glutamate receptor complex itself acts as a ligand-gated ion channel; on binding glutamate, charged ions pass through a channel in the center of the receptor complex.
|
1 | Q9VPV3 (/IMP) |
|
Neuromuscular junction GO:0031594
The junction between the axon of a motor neuron and a muscle fiber. In response to the arrival of action potentials, the presynaptic button releases molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane of the muscle fiber, leading to a change in post-synaptic potential.
|
1 | Q9VPV3 (/IDA) |
|
Synapse GO:0045202
The junction between a nerve fiber of one neuron and another neuron, muscle fiber or glial cell. As the nerve fiber approaches the synapse it enlarges into a specialized structure, the presynaptic nerve ending, which contains mitochondria and synaptic vesicles. At the tip of the nerve ending is the presynaptic membrane; facing it, and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft) is a specialized area of membrane on the receiving cell, known as the postsynaptic membrane. In response to the arrival of nerve impulses, the presynaptic nerve ending secretes molecules of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These diffuse across the cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane.

|
Muscle cell postsynaptic specialization GO:0097482
A postsynaptic specialization that is part of a neuromuscular junction.
