Glycine receptors and brain development [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013 Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are ligand-gated chloride ion channels that mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the spinal cord and the brainstem. There, they are mainly involved in motor control and pain perception in the adult.

Potentiation of glycine-gated NR1/NR3A NMDA receptors relieves Ca2+-dependent outward rectification [PDF]
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.

Glycine: The Smallest Anti-Inflammatory Micronutrient
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Glycine is a non-essential amino acid with many functions and effects. Glycine can bind to specific receptors and transporters that are expressed in many types of cells throughout an organism to exert its effects.

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 ...

Mechanisms of activation and desensitization of full-length glycine receptor in lipid nanodiscs
Nature Communications, 2020 Glycinergic synapses play a central role in motor control and pain processing in the central nervous system. Here, authors present cryo-EM structures of the full-length glycine receptors (GlyRs) reconstituted into lipid nanodiscs in the unliganded ...

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2011 Accumbal glycine modulates basal and ethanol-induced dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens (nAc) as well as voluntary ethanol consumption. Also, systemic administration of the glycine transporter-1 inhibitor Org25935 elevates dopamine levels in nAc ...

The involvement of GABA-rho receptors in regulating ethanol-induced elevation of dopamine, glycine and taurine within the nucleus accumbens of Wistar rats [PDF]
Frontiers in PharmacologyIntroductionAlcohol use disorder (AUD) causes significant morbidity and mortality globally. Ethanol’s rewarding and reinforcing effects are attributed to activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system, increasing accumbal dopamine release. While activation

Evolution of iGluR ligand specificity, polyamine regulation, and ion selectivity inferred from a placozoan epsilon receptor [PDF]
Communications BiologyEpsilon ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are a recently defined clade of neurotransmitter receptors that are found in all major metazoan lineages that are distinct from α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), kainate, delta ...
