Modulation of glutamate transport and receptor binding by glutamate receptor antagonists in EAE rat brain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is currently unknown. However, one potential mechanism involved in the disease may be excitotoxicity. The elevation of glutamate in cerebrospinal fluid, as well as changes in the expression of glutamate receptors ...

Glutamate receptor pores [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2014 AbstractGlutamate receptors are ligand‐gated ion channels that mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission throughout the central nervous system. Functional receptors are homo‐ or heteromeric tetramers with each subunit contributing a re‐entrant pore loop that dips into the membrane from the cytoplasmic side. The pore loops form a narrow constriction

Roles of Glutamate Receptors in Parkinson’s Disease
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder resulting from the degeneration of pigmented dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. It induces a series of functional modifications in the circuitry of the basal ganglia

Posttranslational Modification Biology of Glutamate Receptors and Drug Addiction
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011 Posttranslational covalent modifications of glutamate receptors remain a hot topic. Early studies have established that this family of receptors, including almost all ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypes, undergoes active ...

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).

Astrocyte Glutamate Uptake and Signaling as Novel Targets for Antiepileptogenic Therapy
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Astrocytes regulate and respond to extracellular glutamate levels in the central nervous system (CNS) via the Na+-dependent glutamate transporters glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) and glutamate aspartate transporter (GLAST) and the metabotropic glutamate ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Although glutamate is one of the most important excitatory neurotransmitters of the central nervous system, its excessive extracellular concentration leads to uncontrolled continuous depolarization of neurons, a toxic process called, excitotoxicity.
