GRIK5
Glutamate receptor, ionotropic kainate 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GRIK5 gene.
Function
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the glutamate-gated ionic channel family. Glutamate functions as the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system through activation of ligand-gated ion channels and G protein-coupled membrane receptors. The protein encoded by this gene forms functional heteromeric kainate-preferring ionic channels with the subunits encoded by related gene family members.
Interactions
GRIK5 has been shown to interact with DLG4 and GRIK2.

The Change
by: Crack JawMidnight bright full moon shines the street is cold and quiet
An open window a naked room a creature's lonely cry
All your prayers they're useless now a man will turn to beast
Tonight until the morning comes he's ruled by evil greed
The ruler of the night the devil in disguise
He'll trap you all the way the victim of the change
In his cell the beast is kept but no chains can hold him back
Inside his blood is boiling hot his order is attack
If he hits you no use to run he fetches you to your doom
