Relevance to Autism
Rare mutations in the GRID2 gene have been identified with ASD (Schaaf et al., 2011). In particular, that study found two non-synonymous SNPs in GRID2 in 3 of 339 individuals with ASD.
Molecular Function
Human glutamate receptor delta-2 (GRID2) is a relatively new member of the family of ionotropic glutamate receptors which are the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain. GRID2 is a predicted 1,007 amino acid protein that shares 97% identity with the mouse homolog which is expressed selectively in cerebellar Purkinje cells. GRID2 is strongly suggested to have a role in neuronal apoptotic death.
