NCIt definition : A family of ligand-gated tetrameric ion channel complexes that transport sodium and
calcium cations in response to binding of L-glutamate or glutamatergic agonists. The
pore is formed by homo- or hetero-tetramers of four potential alpha subunits encoded
by the human genes GRIA1-GRIA4. These ion channels play an integral role in neuronal
plasticity and synaptic transmission at many postsynaptic membranes.;
