Potentiation of glycine-gated NR1/NR3A NMDA receptors relieves Ca2+-dependent outward rectification
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2010 Glycine has diverse functions within the mammalian central nervous system. It inhibits postsynaptic neurons via strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors (GlyRs) and enhances neuronal excitation through co-activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors.

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016 NMDA receptors are Ca2+-permeable ion channels. The activation of NMDA receptors requires agonist glutamate and co-agonist glycine. Recent evidence indicates that NMDA receptor also has metabotropic function.

Unmasking GluN1/GluN3A excitatory glycine NMDA receptors
Nature Communications, 2018 Excitatory glycine GluN1/GluN3A receptors are atypical NMDARs that have been difficult to study. Here the authors identify new properties of these receptors, including potentiation by the GluN1 antagonist CGP-78608 that allows detection of functional ...

Allosteric modulation of glycine receptors. [PDF]
British Jounral of Pharmacology, 2011 Inhibitory (or strychnine sensitive) glycine receptors (GlyRs) are anion-selective transmitter-gated ion channels of the cys-loop superfamily, which includes among others also the inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABA(A) receptors). While GABA mediates fast inhibitory neurotransmission throughout the CNS, the action of glycine as a fast ...

Glycine Transporters and Receptors as Targets for Analgesics
Biomolecules, 2021 The suitability of modulating glycinergic neurotransmission for the treatment of inflammatory and chronic pain has gained widespread recognition, with glycine receptors (GlyRs) and glycine transporters (GlyT1 and GlyT2) now considered key therapeutic ...

Opposing actions of sevoflurane on GABAergic and glycinergic synaptic inhibition in the spinal ventral horn. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: The ventral horn is a major substrate in mediating the immobilizing properties of the volatile anesthetic sevoflurane in the spinal cord. In this neuronal network, action potential firing is controlled by GABA(A) and glycine receptors.

D-Serine and Glycine Differentially Control Neurotransmission during Visual Cortex Critical Period. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play a central role in synaptic plasticity. Their activation requires the binding of both glutamate and d-serine or glycine as co-agonist.
