GRIN2C

Glutamate [NMDA] receptor subunit epsilon-3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the GRIN2C is_associated_with::gene.

Function
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are a class of ionotropic glutamate receptors. NMDA channel has been shown to be involved in long-term potentiation, an activity-dependent increase in the efficiency of synaptic transmission thought to underlie certain kinds of memory and learning. NMDA receptor channels are heteromers composed of the key receptor subunit NMDAR1 (GRIN1) and 1 or more of the 4 NMDAR2 subunits: NMDAR2A (GRIN2A), NMDAR2B (GRIN2B), NMDAR2C (GRIN2C), and NMDAR2D (GRIN2D).

Interactions
GRIN2C has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::DLG4 and is_associated_with::DLG3.
