1.A.10.1.28
Glutamate receptor ionotropic, kainate 5, GluK5 or GRIK5, of 980 aas and 4 TMSs. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. This receptor binds kainate > quisqualate > domoate > L-glutamate >> AMPA >> NMDA = 1S,3R-ACPD. The transciption profile (transcriptome) of its gene as well as those of other Ca2+ transporters has been determined as a function of embryonic stage in mice, up until birth (Bouron 2020).  Partial agonism in heteromeric GLUK2/GLUK5 kainate receptor has been documented, and partial agonism observed with AMPA binding is mediated primarily due to differences in the GluK2 subunit, highlighting the distinct contributions of the subunits towards activation (Paudyal et al. 2023).
