AMPA and Kainate Receptors Each Mediate Excitotoxicity in Oligodendroglial Cultures
Neurobiology of Disease, 1999 Recent studies indicate that oligodendrocytes are vulnerable to excitotoxic insults mediated by glutamate receptors. The present study was carried out to characterize the type of glutamate receptors triggering cell death in optic nerve oligodendrocyte ...

Metabotropic glutamate receptors in cancer [PDF]
Neuropharmacology, 2017 Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are widely known for their roles in synaptic signaling. However, accumulating evidence suggests roles of mGluRs in human malignancies in addition to synaptic transmission. Somatic cell homeostasis presents intriguing possibilities of mGluRs and glutamate signaling as novel targets for human cancers.

Phased Treatment Strategies for Cerebral Ischemia Based on Glutamate Receptors
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Extracellular glutamate accumulation following cerebral ischemia leads to overactivation of glutamate receptors, thereby resulting in intracellular Ca2+ overload and excitotoxic neuronal injury. Multiple attempts have been made to counteract such effects

Differential localization of glutamate receptor subunits at the drosophila neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2004 The subunit composition of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors is a key determinant of synaptic physiology. Two glutamate receptor subunits, Drosophila glutamate receptor IIA (DGluRIIA) and DGluRIIB, are expressed at the Drosophila neuromuscular ...

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 Receptors in Plants [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2002 Ionotropic glutamate receptors function in animals as glutamate-gated non-selective cation channels. Numerous glutamate receptor-like (GLR) genes have been identified in plant genomes, and plant GLRs are predicted, on the basis of sequence homology, to retain ligand-binding and ion channel activity. Non-selective cation channels are ubiquitous in plant

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 ...

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.
