GRIN3B glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 3B [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 116444)

Symbol: GRIN3B

Full name: glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 3B

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: GluN3B; NR3B

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. The encoded protein is found primarily in motor neurons, where it forms a heterotetramer with GRIN1 to create an excitatory glycine receptor. Variations in this gene have been proposed to be linked to schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
