Auxiliary TARP Subunits Define AMPA Receptor Pharmacology and Function [PDF]
Journal of XenobioticsBackground: Fast excitatory transmission in the central nervous system is carried out by AMPA-type glutamate receptors. Neuronal hyperexcitability and epilepsy have been associated with the dysregulation of AMPA receptor function.

Single-Particle Tracking of AMPA Receptor-Containing Vesicles [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolAMPA-type receptors are transported large distances to support synaptic plasticity at distal dendritic locations. Studying the motion of AMPA receptor+ vesicles can improve our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie learning and memory ...

Differences in AMPA and Kainate Receptor Interactomes Facilitate Identification of AMPA Receptor Auxiliary Subunit GSG1L [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2012 AMPA receptor (AMPA-R) complexes consist of channel-forming subunits, GluA1-4, and auxiliary proteins, including TARPs, CNIHs, synDIG1, and CKAMP44, which can modulate AMPA-R function in specific ways.

Perampanel inhibition of AMPA receptor currents in cultured hippocampal neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Perampanel is an aryl substituted 2-pyridone AMPA receptor antagonist that was recently approved as a treatment for epilepsy. The drug potently inhibits AMPA receptor responses but the mode of block has not been characterized.

Auxiliary Subunits Regulate the Dendritic Turnover of AMPA Receptors in Mouse Hippocampal Neurons
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Different families of auxiliary subunits regulate the function and trafficking of native α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors in the central nervous system. While a facilitatory role of auxiliary subunits in ER export and

Pattern of injury with a graded excitotoxic insult and ensuing chronic medial septal damage in the rat brain [PDF]
, 2013 Brain damage caused by an acute injury depends on the initial severity of the injury and the time elapsed after the injury. To determine whether these two variables activate common mechanisms, we compared the response of the rat medial septum to insult ...

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 ...
