    Summary
    Predicted to enable excitatory extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to be involved in chemical synaptic transmission; monoatomic ion transmembrane transport; and regulation of membrane potential. Predicted to be located in membrane and postsynapse. Predicted to be part of transmembrane transporter complex. Predicted to be active in neuron projection; plasma membrane; and synapse. Is expressed in neurons and ray.
