gene: glr-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable glutamate receptor activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in detection of cold stimulus involved in thermoception and detection of temperature stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic density membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in temporal lobe epilepsy. Is an ortholog of human GRIK3 (glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 3) and GRIK4 (glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 4).
