UniProt Protein Function: | CNIH2: Regulates the trafficking and gating properties of AMPA- selective glutamate receptors (AMPARs). Promotes their targeting to the cell membrane and synapses and modulates their gating properties by regulating their rates of activation, deactivation and desensitization. Blocks CACNG8-mediated resensitization of AMPA receptors. Belongs to the cornichon family.Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integralChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q13.2Cellular Component: dendrite; dendritic shaft; dendritic spine; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; ER-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane; postsynaptic density; postsynaptic membraneMolecular Function: protein bindingBiological Process: COPII coating of Golgi vesicle; ER to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport |

NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is an auxiliary subunit of the ionotropic glutamate receptor of the AMPA subtype. AMPA receptors mediate fast synaptic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. This protein has been reported to interact with the Type I AMPA receptor regulatory protein isoform gamma-8 to control assembly of hippocampal AMPA receptor complexes, thereby modulating receptor gating and pharmacology. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012] |
