AMPA receptor structure and auxiliary subunits
Journal of Physiology, 2020 Fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain is largely mediated by AMPA‐type ionotropic glutamate receptors (AMPARs), which are activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate.

The early stage formation of PI3K-AMPAR GluR2 subunit complex facilitates the long term neuroprotection induced by propofol post-conditioning in rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Previously, we have shown that the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) mediated acute (24 h) post-conditioning neuroprotection induced by propofol.

Modulating Excitatory Synaptic Neurotransmission: Potential Treatment for Neurological Disease?
Neurobiology of Disease, 1998 Excitatory neurotransmission at many CNS synapses depends upon AMPA-type glutamate receptors. Derangements in AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission may be a contributing factor in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases and could be a target ...

Copine-6 is a Ca2+ sensor for activity-induced AMPA receptor exocytosis
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The recruitment of synaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA) receptors underlies the strengthening of neuronal connectivity during learning and memory. This process is triggered by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-

Chemokine fractalkine/CX3CL1 negatively modulates active glutamatergic synapses in rat hippocampal neurons [PDF]
, 2006 We examined the effects of the chemokine fractalkine (CX3CL1) on EPSCs evoked by electrical stimulation of Schaffer collaterals in patch-clamped CA1 pyramidal neurons from rat hippocampal slices.

Efficient and rapid isolation of native AMPA receptor complexes for cryo-EM. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Isolating native ion channels for structural characterization is routinely achieved by extraction from membrane fractions of tissue with prolonged mild detergent treatment. AMPA receptors (AMPARs), glutamatergic receptors that mediate fast excitatory transmission and synaptic plasticity, are coassembled with diverse auxiliary subunits and ...

AMPA receptor subunit expression in the endoplasmic reticulum in frontal cortex of elderly patients with schizophrenia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Several lines of evidence indicate altered trafficking of α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate (AMPA) receptors in schizophrenia. Previous reports have shown potential changes in the trafficking of AMPA receptors based on subunit expression
