Modification and movement: Phosphorylation and SUMOylation regulate endocytosis of GluK2-containing kainate receptors

Kainate receptors (KARs) are tetrameric glutamate-gated ion channels composed of combinations of the subunits GluK1-5. Depending on their precise localization and subunit composition, KARs can regulate neurotransmitter release, synaptic function and neuronal excitability. Because of these diverse ro...
