Gene: GRIN3B

Alternate names for this Gene: GluN3B|NR3B

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. The encoded protein is found primarily in motor neurons, where it forms a heterotetramer with GRIN1 to create an excitatory glycine receptor. Variations in this gene have been proposed to be linked to schizophrenia.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.3

Description of this Gene: glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 3B

Type of Gene: protein-coding
