GRID1 Gene Summary [Human]

This gene encodes a subunit of glutamate receptor channels. These channels mediate most of the fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system and play key roles in synaptic plasticity.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human GRID1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • G-protein coupled receptor
  • Receptor family ligand binding region
  • channel/pore class transporter
  • Ligated ion channel L-glutamate- and glycine-binding site
  • extracellular ligand-gated ion channel
  • protein binding
  • identical protein binding
  • ion channel
  • GABA receptor
  • neurotransmitter receptor
  • Type 1 periplasmic binding fold superfamily
  • Type 2 periplasmic binding fold superfamily
