Recombinant Human Glutamate receptor 3 (GRIA3), partial
Description
Purity > 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. MW: 14kDa. Partial: 151-250aa. N-terminal 6xHis-tagged. Homo sapiens (Human). Receptor for glutamate that functions as ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous syst and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous syst. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chical signal to an electrical impulse. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. In the presence of CACNG4 or CACNG7 or CACNG8, shows resensitization which is characterized by a delayed accumulation of current flux upon continued application of glutamate.
