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 ...

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2006
Pain is an important survival and protection mechanism for animals. However, chronic/persistent pain may be differentiated from normal physiological pain in that it confers no obvious advantage. An accumulating body of pharmacological, electrophysiological, and behavioral evidence is emerging in support of the notion that glutamate receptors play a ...

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 ...

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.

Glutamate receptors and metaplasticity in addiction
Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2021Chronic drug use is a neuroadaptive disorder characterized by strong and persistent plasticity in the mesocorticolimbic reward system. Long-lasting effects of drugs of abuse rely on their ability to hijack glutamate receptor activity and long-term synaptic plasticity processes like long-term potentiation and depression.

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.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors and Neurodegeneration
2004Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors, which exert a modulatory effect on excitatory synaptic transmission, are considered as potential targets for neuroprotective drugs and the advent of potent and centrally available subtype-selective ligands has lead to an extensive investigation of the role of individual mGlu receptor subtypes in ...

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 ...

Glutamate receptors and new glutamate agonists
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1983Abstract A variety of naturally occurring and synthetic analogues of the putative excitatory amino acid neurotransmittersl-glutamic acid (l-GLU) andl-aspartec acid (l-ASP) are powerful neuroexcitatory and neurotoxic agents. These effects appear to be mediated primarily by the central receptors normally operated byl-GLU and/orl-ASP.
