Many genes are linked to NMDAR functions. We selected seventeen genes closely related to NMDAR functions for study: three NMDAR subunit genes (GRIN1, GRIN2A, and GRIN2B), ten genes encoding protein kinases, protein phosphatases and protein palmitoyltransferase, which perform post-translational modifications of NMDAR (FYN, SRC, PRKCG, PTPN5, PPP1CA, PPP1CB, PPP1CC, PPP1R1B, PPP1R9B, and ZDHHC3), and four genes encoding proteins that regulate NMDAR function (DISC1, NRG1, DAOA, and DTNBP1).
