Description

GRIK4 (Glutamate receptor, ionotropic kainate 4) is a receptor for glutamate and is one of the 5 types of kainate receptor subunits.  Glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the CNS are key mediators of brain communication.  Kainate receptors are relevant targets for neuroprotection of both neurons and glia in acute and chronic neurodegerative diseases.  They are also involved in epilepsy, pain and psychiatric disorders.  Variations in GRIK4 have been associated with both increased and decreased risk of bipolar disorder.  Single-nucleotide polymorphism's in GRIK 4 are also observed in Schizophrenia.
