Investigating the contribution of kainate receptors to neurodevelopmental disorders

Kainate receptors (KARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors involved in presynaptic and postsynaptic neuroplasticity mechanisms. They form functional ion channels by tetrameric combinations of five different subunits (GRIK1-GRIK5, GluK1-GluK5) and they are modulated by auxiliary proteins Neto1 and N...
