Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable glutamate receptor activity; identical protein binding activity; and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in regulation of postsynapse organization; regulation of postsynaptic membrane neurotransmitter receptor levels; and social behavior. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; liver and biliary system; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human GRID1 (glutamate ionotropic receptor delta type subunit 1).
