CNIH2 and 3 are members of the ERV14 family of transmembrane proteins with a role in chaperoning cargo out of the ER (reviewed in Dancourt and Barlowe, 2010). CNIH2 and 3 bind to components of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor complex, including GRIA1 in the ER and facilitate their trafficking to the plasma membrane. CNIH2 and 3 may play additional roles at the cell surface modulating the function of the channels (Shi et al, 2010; Schwenk et al, 2009).
