About Cnih2

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is an auxiliary subunit of the ionotropic glutamate receptor of the AMPA subtype. This protein is similar to a Drosophila protein involved in anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral patterning. Cnih2 conditional knockout mice exhibit reduced AMPA Receptor synaptic transmission in the hippocampus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
