Abstract:
Kainate receptors are composed of several subunits and splice variants, but the relevance of this diversity is still not well understood. The subunits and splice variants show great divergence in their C-terminal cytoplasmic tail region, which has been identified as a region of interaction with a number of protein partners. Differential trafficking of kainate receptors to neuronal compartments is likely to rely on interactions with distinct subsets of protein partners. This review summarizes our knowledge of the regulation of trafficking of kainate receptors and focuses on the identification and characterization of functions of interacting partners.

Sec61 protein conducting channel
In eukaryotes, the translocon complex comprises a core heterotrimeric translocator channel called the Sec61 complex. This channel includes three transmembrane proteins, Sec61α, Sec61β, and Sec61γ, and is the largest subunit of the translocon complex.
