Function

[GLR33_ARATH] Glutamate-gated receptor that probably acts as non-selective cation channel, at least in roots and hypocotyls. Can be triggered by Ala, Asn, Cys, Glu, Gly, Ser and glutathione (a tripeptide consisting of Glu-Gly-Cys). Mediates leaf-to-leaf wound signaling. May be involved in light-signal transduction and calcium homeostasis via the regulation of calcium influx into cells.^{[1] [2] [3]}
