Transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins and AMPA receptor function in the cerebellum

open access: yesNeuroscience, 2009
Heterogeneity among AMPA receptor (AMPAR) subtypes is thought to be one of the key postsynaptic factors giving rise to diversity in excitatory synaptic signaling in the CNS. Recently, compelling evidence has emerged that ancillary AMPAR subunits-the so-called transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs)-also play a vital role in influencing ...

Functional modulation of AMPA receptors by transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins

Neuroscience, 2009
The AMPA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels belonging to the family of ionotropic glutamate receptors. They play an essential role in fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the CNS of vertebrates. Their activity-dependent directed transport and fast turnover at the plasma membrane contribute to synaptic plasticity and require numerous ...

AMPA receptors

Neurology, 2016
In this and forthcoming reviews, a representative clinical case will serve as an introduction to the topic to be discussed. This will provide the basis to address some recent insights from basic neuroscience research on the normal function of the primary target of the disease process involved in the case presented, as well as putative pathophysiologic ...

Inhibitors of AMPA and Kainate Receptors

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2001
The glutamate receptor system is implicated in the development and maintenance of epileptic seizures, and animal studies have disclosed potent anticonvulsant activity of a number of inhibitors of AMPA and/or kainate (KA) receptor activity. These results make such inhibitors potential future antiepileptic drugs.

AMPA Receptor Cycling in the Synapse

Science's STKE, 2004
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (GluRs) are involved in mediating signaling in response to synaptic activity. In addition to converting the chemical signal released from the presynaptic terminal to an electrical response in the postsynaptic neuron, these receptors are critically involved in activity-dependent, long-term changes in synaptic strength and,

AMPA Receptor Trafficking and GluR1

Science, 2005
In their Research Article “Postsynaptic receptor trafficking underlying a form of associative learning” (1 Apr., p. 83), S. Rumpel et al. draw the important conclusions that “encoding of memories in the lateral amygdala is mediated by AMPA receptor trafficking” and that “synaptic incorporation of AMPARs is necessary for learning.” The key experiment ...

Sensitivity of AMPA receptors to pentobarbital

European Journal of Pharmacology: Molecular Pharmacology, 1994
The inhibitory effects of pentobarbital on various AMPA receptors expressed (GluR1, GluR3, GluR1/3, GluR1/2, and GluR2/3) in Xenopus oocytes were examined. Combinations of AMPA receptor subunits that included GluR2 demonstrated a much higher sensitivity to blockade by this barbiturate and the apparent co-operativity of the interaction of pentobarbital ...

The AMPA receptors of auditory neurons

Hearing Research, 2000
The ionotropic glutamate receptor (GluR) subtype known as the AMPA receptor, which mediates rapid excitatory synaptic transmission in many regions of the nervous system, is composed of four different protein subunits, termed GluRs 1-4. The functional properties of each AMPA receptor are determined by the relative levels of GluRs 1-4 and by post ...

AMPA/Kainate Receptors

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 1996
AMPA and kainate receptors belong to a common family of ionotropic glutamate receptors. Molecular biology has revealed some of the molecular features that are responsible for selective ion permeability of the receptor comp.lex. The diversity of subunits and their combination into hetero-oligomeric recep or complexes have provided evidence that ...
