glutamate receptor zeta-1; N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR1 (GRIN1 NMDAR1)

Function: - NMDA receptor subunit - high Ca+2 permeability - voltage-dependent sensitivity to Mg+2 - mediated by glycine - plays a key role in synaptic plasticity, synaptogenesis, excitotoxicity, memory acquisition & learning - mediates neuronal functions in glutamate neurotransmission - involved in the cell surface targeting of NMDA receptors (putative) - forms heteromeric channel of: a) zeta subunit (GRIN1) b) epsilon subunit (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C or GRIN2D) c) 3rd subunit (GRIN3A or GRIN3B) - disulfide-linked - found in a complex with GRIN2A or GRIN2B, GRIN3A or GRIN3B & PPP2CB - interacts with DLG4 & MPDZ (putative) - NMDA is probably regulated by C-terminal phosphorylation of an isoform of NR1 by PKC - dephosphorylated on Ser-897 probably by protein phosphatase 2A (PPP2CB) - phosphorylated state is influenced by the formation of the NMDAR-PPP2CB complex & the NMDAR channel activity (putative) Structure: - belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10) family - disulfide-linked Compartment: - cell membrane - cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane (putative) - postsynaptic density (putative) - enriched in post-synaptic plasma membrane & post-synaptic densities Alternative splicing: named isoforms=5
