Metabotropic glutamate receptors
Cell and Tissue Research, 2006Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGlus) are a family of G-protein-coupled receptors activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate. Molecular cloning has revealed eight different subtypes (mGlu1-8) with distinct molecular and pharmacological properties. Multiplicity in this receptor family is further generated through alternative splicing. mGlus activate

Hippocampal glutamate receptors
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1981For years, the hippocampus has been the privileged domain of anatomists and electrophysiologists for investigating various neurobiological processes. The present review deals with recent work which shows that this structure is also well suited to study the role of glutamate as a neurotransmitter and more particularly the characteristics of glutamate ...

Critical Reviews in Neurobiology, 2004
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) mediate the vast majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmissions within the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). As for other ion channel protein families, there has been astounding progress in recent years in elucidating the details of protein structure through the crystallization of at least part of the ...

Ionotropic glutamate receptors
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 1999The glutamate-binding sites of ionotropic glutamate receptors are formed from two extracellular domains of a single subunit. Conformational changes induced by agonist binding produce mechanical processes that are translated into ion gating and receptor desensitization.

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994
The past year has seen significant advances in matching the actions of recombinant glutamate receptors with the actions of native receptors, and in mapping their distribution and regulation. The discovery of a novel RNA editing mechanism for AMPA receptors and a revised view of the transmembrane topology of the NMDA receptor subunit, NR1, are ...

Glutamate acts through a variety of receptors to modulate neurotransmission and neuronal excitability. Glutamate plays a critical role in neuroplasticity as well as in nervous system dysfunctions and disorders. Hyperfunction or dysfunction of glutamatergic neurotransmission also represents a key mechanism of pain-related plastic changes in the central ...

Mammalian ionotropic glutamate receptors
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1993Exciting new milestones in glutamate receptor (GluR) channel research include the following: the cloning of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors; delineation of molecular determinants for ion flow through glutamate-gated channels; the discovery that Ca2+ permeability of non-NMDA receptor channels is determined by RNA editing; the construction of ...

Glutamate Receptors in Microglia
CNS & Neurological Disorders - Drug Targets, 2013Expression of functional glutamate receptors (GluR) on glial cells in the developing and mature brain has been recently established. Over the last decade there has been physiological, molecular and biochemical evidence suggesting the presence of GluR on microglia. However, the significance of GluR activation in microglia remains largely unknown.

Structure of Glutamate Receptors
Current Drug Targets, 2007Glutamate receptors mediate a vast array of processes in plants, animals and bacteria. In particular, the ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian central nervous system. Because these proteins are constructed from distinct folding domains, most of which can be traced to ...
