Structure, Function, and Pharmacology of Glutamate Receptor Ion Channels
Pharmacological Reviews, 2021 Many physiologic effects of l-glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system, are mediated via signaling by ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs).

PKA drives an increase in AMPA receptor unitary conductance during LTP in the hippocampus
Nature Communications, 2021 Long-term potentiation at hippocampal CA1 synapses can be due to increasing the number and/or single-channel conductance of AMPA receptors. The authors show that PKA and CaMKII are necessary and together sufficient to increase single channel conductance,

Genomics and transcriptomic alterations of the glutamate receptors in acute myeloid leukemia
Clinical and Translational Science, 2023 Glutamine and glutamate have been widely explored as potential therapeutic targets in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition to its bioenergetic role in leukemia cell proliferation, L‐glutamate is a neurotransmitter that acts on glutamate receptors ...

Glutamatergic Mechanisms in Glioblastoma and Tumor-Associated Epilepsy
Cells, 2021 The progression of glioblastomas is associated with a variety of neurological impairments, such as tumor-related epileptic seizures. Seizures are not only a common comorbidity of glioblastoma but often an initial clinical symptom of this cancer entity ...

Accuracy in readout of glutamate concentrations by neuronal cells [PDF]
The European Physical Journal E, 46(4), 30 (2023), 2023 Glutamate and glycine are important neurotransmitters in the brain. An action potential prop- agating in the terminal of a presynatic neuron causes the release of glutamate and glycine in the synapse by vesicles fusing with the cell membrane, which then activate various receptors on the cell membrane of the post synaptic neuron.

Treatment resistance NMDA receptor pathway polygenic score is associated with brain glutamate in schizophrenia [PDF]
, 2023 Dysfunction of glutamate neurotransmission has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and may be particularly relevant in severe, treatment-resistant symptoms. The underlying mechanism may involve hypofunction of the NMDA receptor.

Comprehensive Insight of Neurodegenerative Diseases and The Role of Neurotoxin Agents — Glutamate
Progress in Microbes and Molecular Biology, 2020 The increased concentration of extracellular glutamate has been reported to play a key role in most of the neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, even though its importance as an amino acid neurotransmitter in ...

Kainate receptor modulation by NETO2 [PDF]
Nature, 599(7884), 325-329 (2021), 2023 Glutamate-gated kainate receptors (KARs) are ubiquitous in the central nervous system of vertebrates, mediate synaptic transmission on post-synapse, and modulate transmitter release on pre-synapse. In the brain, the trafficking, gating kinetics, and pharmacology of KARs are tightly regulated by Neuropilin and tolloid-like proteins (Netos).
