Promotes their targeting to the cell membrane and synapses and modulates their gating properties by slowing their rates of activation, deactivation and desensitization and by mediating their resensitization. Does not show subunit-specific AMPA receptor regulation and regulates all AMPAR subunits. Thought to stabilize the calcium channel in an inactivated (closed) state. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20805473, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21172611}. |PMP22 Claudin| |neurotransmitter receptor transport, postsynaptic endosome to lysosome| |channel regulator activity| |receptor diffusion trapping| |postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor diffusion trapping| |neurotransmitter receptor diffusion trapping| |L-type voltage-gated calcium channel complex| |protein localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane| |neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane| |neurotransmitter receptor internalization| |postsynaptic density membrane| |regulation of AMPA receptor activity| |voltage-gated calcium channel complex| |AMPA glutamate receptor complex| |positive regulation of synaptic transmission, glutamatergic| |protein localization to postsynaptic membrane| |neurotransmitter receptor transport| |calcium channel regulator activity| |protein localization to lysosome| |voltage-gated calcium channel activity| |receptor localization to synapse| |establishment of protein localization to vacuole| |regulation of postsynaptic membrane neurotransmitter receptor levels| |transmission of nerve impulse| |protein localization to vacuole| |receptor internalization| |protein localization to synapse| |regulation of glutamate receptor signaling pathway| |endocytic vesicle membrane| |regulation of synaptic transmission, glutamatergic| |regulation of neurotransmitter receptor activity| |localization within membrane| |cardiac conduction| |receptor metabolic process| |lysosomal transport| |multicellular organismal signaling| |vacuolar transport| |positive regulation of synaptic transmission| |regulation of cation channel activity| |regulation of signaling receptor activity| |calcium ion transmembrane transport| |protein localization to cell periphery| |receptor-mediated endocytosis| |regulation of heart contraction| |calcium ion transport| |postsynaptic density| |protein-containing complex localization| |regulation of ion transmembrane transporter activity| |regulation of transmembrane transporter activity| |regulation of transporter activity| |regulation of blood circulation| |divalent metal ion transport| |divalent inorganic cation transport| |regulation of cation transmembrane transport| |establishment of protein localization to organelle| |modulation of chemical synaptic transmission| |regulation of trans-synaptic signaling| |regulation of ion transmembrane transport| |protein localization to membrane| |cell junction| |endocytosis| |inorganic cation transmembrane transport| |regulation of transmembrane transport| |regulation of system process| |cation transmembrane transport| |metal ion transport| |inorganic ion transmembrane transport| |import into cell| |regulation of ion transport| |protein localization to organelle| |cation transport| |ion transmembrane transport| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |protein transport| |peptide transport| |amide transport| |cellular protein localization| |cellular macromolecule localization| |establishment of protein localization| |positive regulation of cell communication| |positive regulation of signaling| |nitrogen compound transport| |regulation of transport| |vesicle-mediated transport| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
