This protein enables 3 target(s):
| Target | Category | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| voltage-gated calcium channel activity | molecular function | Enables the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. [GOC:mtg_transport, GOC:tb, ISBN:0815340729] |
| calcium channel regulator activity | molecular function | Modulates the activity of a calcium channel. [GOC:mah] |
| channel regulator activity | molecular function | Binds to and modulates the activity of a channel. A channel catalyzes energy-independent facilitated diffusion, mediated by passage of a solute through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel. [GOC:mah] |
This protein is located in 3 target(s):
| Target | Category | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| plasma membrane | cellular component | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363] |
| postsynaptic density | cellular component | An electron dense network of proteins within and adjacent to the postsynaptic membrane of an asymmetric, neuron-neuron synapse. Its major components include neurotransmitter receptors and the proteins that spatially and functionally organize them such as anchoring and scaffolding molecules, signaling enzymes and cytoskeletal components. [GOC:BHF, GOC:dos, GOC:ef, GOC:jid, GOC:pr, GOC:sjp, http://molneuro.kaist.ac.kr/psd, PMID:14532281, Wikipedia:Postsynaptic_density] |
| endocytic vesicle membrane | cellular component | The lipid bilayer surrounding an endocytic vesicle. [GOC:mah] |
This protein is active in 1 target(s):
| Target | Category | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| postsynaptic density membrane | cellular component | The membrane component of the postsynaptic density. This is the region of the postsynaptic membrane in which the population of neurotransmitter receptors involved in synaptic transmission are concentrated. [GOC:dos] |
This protein is part of 3 target(s):
| Target | Category | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| voltage-gated calcium channel complex | cellular component | A protein complex that forms a transmembrane channel through which calcium ions may pass in response to changes in membrane potential. [GOC:mah] |
| AMPA glutamate receptor complex | cellular component | An assembly of four or five subunits which form a structure with an extracellular N-terminus and a large loop that together form the ligand binding domain. The C-terminus is intracellular. The ionotropic glutamate receptor complex itself acts as a ligand gated ion channel; on binding glutamate, charged ions pass through a channel in the center of the receptor complex. The AMPA receptors mediate fast synaptic transmission in the CNS and are composed of subunits GluR1-4, products from separate genes. These subunits have an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminus. [GOC:ef] |
| L-type voltage-gated calcium channel complex | cellular component | A type of voltage-dependent calcium channel responsible for excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. 'L' stands for 'long-lasting' referring to the length of activation. [GOC:ame, PMID:12946355] |
This protein is involved in 8 target(s):
| Target | Category | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| calcium ion transport | biological process | The directed movement of calcium (Ca) ions into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai] |
| calcium ion transmembrane transport | biological process | A process in which a calcium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:mah] |
| regulation of AMPA receptor activity | biological process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of AMPA selective glutamate receptor activity. [GOC:BHF] |
| postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor diffusion trapping | biological process | The process by which diffusing neurotransmitter receptor becomes trapped at the postsynaptic specialization membrane. This is typically due to interaction with components of the post-synaptic specialization. [PMID:18832033] |

| positive regulation of synaptic transmission, glutamatergic | biological process | Any process that activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of glutamatergic synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to another neuron across a synapse using the neurotransmitter glutamate. [GOC:ai] |
| neurotransmitter receptor transport, postsynaptic endosome to lysosome | biological process | The directed movement of neurotransmitter receptor from the postsynaptic endosome in tranpsort vesicles to the lysosome for degradation. [GOC:dos] |
| transmission of nerve impulse | biological process | The neurological system process in which a signal is transmitted through the nervous system by a combination of action potential propagation and synaptic transmission. [GOC:curators, ISBN:0815316194] |
