Kainate receptors in epilepsy and excitotoxicity
Neuroscience, 2009Kainate (KA), an analog of glutamate, is a potent neurotoxin that has long been known to induce behavioral and electrophysiological seizures as well as neuropathological lesions reminiscent of those found in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. More than a decade after the initial KA studies, molecular cloning of ionotropic glutamate receptors ...

Inhibitors of AMPA and Kainate Receptors
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2001The glutamate receptor system is implicated in the development and maintenance of epileptic seizures, and animal studies have disclosed potent anticonvulsant activity of a number of inhibitors of AMPA and/or kainate (KA) receptor activity. These results make such inhibitors potential future antiepileptic drugs.

Kainate receptors and synaptic transmission
Progress in Neurobiology, 2003Excitatory glutamatergic transmission involves a variety of different receptor types, each with distinct properties and functions. Physiological studies have identified both post- and presynaptic roles for kainate receptors, which are a subtype of the ionotropic glutamate receptors.

Kainate receptor pharmacology and physiology
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 1999Glutamate is the primary neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. One of the classes of ionotropic glutamate receptors is kainate receptors. Recent developments in the pharmacology of kainate receptors have resulted in the emergence of several selective agonists and antagonists.

Kainate Receptors and Mossy Fiber LTP
NeuroToxicology, 2005There is considerable interest in understanding long-term potentiation (LTP) of glutamatergic synaptic transmission because the molecular mechanisms involved in its induction and expression are believed to be critical for learning and memory. There are two distinct forms of LTP.
