Category:GO:0015277 ! kainate selective glutamate receptor activity
name: kainate selective glutamate receptor activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "An ionotropic glutamate receptor activity that exhibits fast gating by glutamate, acts by opening a cation channel permeable to sodium and potassium, and for which kainate is an agonist." [GOC:mah, PMID:10049997, PMID:8804111]
comment: Note that this term represents an activity and not a gene product. Consider also annotating to the molecular function terms 'ionotropic glutamate receptor activity ; GO:0004970' and 'cation channel activity ; GO:0005261'.
is_a: GO:0004970 ! glutamate-gated receptor activity
