FunFam 28047: Glutamate receptor subunit 3

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

GO Term Annotations Evidence
AMPA glutamate receptor complex GO:0032281
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. The AMPA receptors mediate fast synaptic transmission in the CNS and are composed of subunits GluR1-4, products from separate genes. These subunits have an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminus.

1 P42263 (/TAS)
Ionotropic glutamate receptor complex GO:0008328
A multimeric 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.

Postsynaptic density GO:0014069
An electron dense network of proteins within and adjacent to the postsynaptic membrane in asymetric synapses.

A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it.
1 Q9Z2W9 (/IDA)
Dendrite GO:0030425
A neuron projection that has a short, tapering, often branched, morphology, receives and integrates signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conducts a nerve impulse towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.

Endocytic vesicle membrane GO:0030666
The lipid bilayer surrounding an endocytic vesicle.
1 P42263 (/TAS)
Asymmetric synapse GO:0032279
A type of synapse occurring between an axon and a dendritic spine or dendritic shaft. Asymmetric synapses, the most abundant synapse type in the central nervous system, involve axons that contain predominantly spherical vesicles and contain a thickened postsynaptic density. Most or all synapses of this type are excitatory.

1 P19492 (/IDA)
Terminal bouton GO:0043195
Terminal inflated portion of the axon, containing the specialized apparatus necessary to release neurotransmitters. The axon terminus is considered to be the whole region of thickening and the terminal bouton is a specialized region of it.
1 P19492 (/IDA)
Dendritic spine GO:0043197
A small, membranous protrusion from a dendrite that forms a postsynaptic compartment - typically receiving input from a single presynapse. They function as partially isolated biochemical and an electrical compartments. Spine morphology is variable including \thin\, \stubby\, \mushroom\, and \branched\, with a continuum of intermediate morphologies. They typically terminate in a bulb shape, linked to the dendritic shaft by a restriction. Spine remodeling is though to be involved in synaptic plasticity.

Dendritic shaft GO:0043198
Cylindric portion of the dendrite, directly stemming from the perikaryon, and carrying the dendritic spines.

Prosthetic group in this context refers to a tightly bound cofactor. The component polypeptide subunits may be identical.

Postsynaptic membrane GO:0045211
A specialized area of membrane facing the presynaptic membrane on the tip of the nerve ending and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft). Neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane.
