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.

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 ...

Mammalian ionotropic glutamate receptors
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1993Exciting new milestones in glutamate receptor (GluR) channel research include the following: the cloning of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors; delineation of molecular determinants for ion flow through glutamate-gated channels; the discovery that Ca2+ permeability of non-NMDA receptor channels is determined by RNA editing; the construction of ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Neurotransmitters: Elusive glutamate receptors
Current Biology, 1994Kainate-preferring glutamate receptors appear to be abundant in the central nervous system. We have recently begun to understand their properties, but their functions remain to be described.

Glutamate receptor channel signatures
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2001Genes encoding glutamate receptor channel subunits were identified in genomes from Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans by homology search with amino acid sequences that participate in the conserved channel pore. The predicted sequences of the putative glutamate receptor subunits revealed a distinct channel pore signature for each ...

Inhibitory glutamate receptor channels
Molecular Neurobiology, 1996Inhibitory glutamate receptors (IGluRs) are a family of ion channel proteins closely related to ionotropic glycine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors; They are gated directly by glutamate; the open channel is permeable to chloride and sometimes potassium. Physiologically and pharmacologically, IGluRs most closely resemble GABA receptors; they
