OverviewNCBI Gene

Glutamate receptors are the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain and are activated in a variety of normal neurophysiologic processes. These receptors are heteromeric protein complexes composed of multiple subunits, arranged to form ligand-gated ion channels. The classification of glutamate receptors is based on their activation by different pharmacologic agonists. The subunit encoded by this gene belongs to a family of AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate)-sensitive glutamate receptors, and is subject to RNA editing (AGA->GGA; R->G). Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms, which may vary in their signal transduction properties. Some haplotypes of this gene show a positive association with schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against GRIA4 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads GRIA4 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against GRIA4 could matter depends on whether native GRIA4 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

GRIA4 is annotated at the cell surface, where native GRIA4 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label GRIA4 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
