Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and signaling receptor activity. Predicted to contribute to NMDA glutamate receptor activity. Involved in locomotory behavior and regulation of forward locomotion. Located in neuron projection; plasma membrane; and synapse. Expressed in several structures, including ganglia; gonadal sheath cell; head mesodermal cell; nerve ring neurons; and oocyte. Used to study neurodegenerative disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; alcohol use disorder; autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 8; and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 101. Is an ortholog of human GRIN1 (glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 1).
