FUNCTION: Ionotropic glutamate receptor. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chemical signal to an electrical impulse. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist (PubMed:28180184). Modulates cell surface expression of NETO2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P39087, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28180184}.; FUNCTION: Independent of its ionotropic glutamate receptor activity, acts as a thermoreceptor conferring sensitivity to cold temperatures (PubMed:31474366). Functions in dorsal root ganglion neurons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P39087, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31474366}.
