kainate selective glutamate receptor complex Gene Set

Dataset GO Cellular Component Annotations 2023
Category structural or functional annotations
Type biological process
Description An 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. Kainate receptors are multimeric assemblies of GluR5-7 and KA-1/2 subunits. (Gene Ontology, GO_0032983)
