Protein
Glutamate receptor 1
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Receptor for glutamate. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists (By similarity). Forms ligand-gated ion channels which are activated by kainate.
Similarity
Belongs to the glutamate-gated ion channel (TC 1.A.10.1) family.
