1.A.14.3.14
GRINA  (Lifguard 1, LFG1, NMDARA1, TMBIM3) has 371 aas and 7 C-terminal TMSs.  It is expressed in 218 organ(s) with highest expression in the right hemisphere of the cerebellum.  It is involved in ER Ca2+ ion homeostasis and regulates apoptosis. The expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax is upregulated, whereas the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 is downregulated in GRINA silenced cells (Xu et al. 2018).  Grina/TMBIM3 modulates NMDA receptors and voltage-gated CaV2.2 Ca2+ channels (TC# 1.A.1.11.9) in a G-protein-like manner (Mallmann et al. 2019). GRINA encodes the ionotropic glutamate receptor TMBIM3 (transmembrane BAX inhibitor 1 motif-containing protein family member 3), which regulates cell survival (Rice et al. 2019).
