Glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kainate 1, also known as GLUR5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GRIK1 gene. It is mapped to 21q21.3. This gene encodes one of the many ionotropic glutamate receptor (GluR) subunits that function as a ligand-gated ion channel. The specific GluR subunit encoded by this gene is of the kainate receptor subtype. Receptor assembly and intracellular trafficking of ionotropic glutamate receptors are regulated by RNA editing and alternative splicing. These receptors mediate excitatory neurotransmission and are critical for normal synaptic function. Exons of this gene are interspersed with exons from the C21or f41 gene, which is transcribed in the same orientation as this gene but does not seem to encode a protein.
