The N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Complex

Journal of Receptor Research, 1988
The effects of agonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor can be blocked by dissociative anesthetics such as phencyclidine (PCP) in a non-competitive manner. This finding together with the fact that ligand binding to the PCP receptor is dependent on the presence of L-glutamate has led to the suggestion that there may exist an NMDA/PCP ...

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors and Alzheimer's disease

Neurobiology of Aging, 1989
The results of several studies now suggest that the density of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors is maintained in many Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases, although loss of these receptors can occur in specific regions as a consequence of severe neuronal loss.

Assembly of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2003
The N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) requires both NR1 and NR2 subunits to form a functional ion channel. Despite the recent advances in our understanding of the contributions of these different subunits to both the function and pharmacology of the NMDAR, the precise subunit stoichiometry of the receptor and the regions of the subunits governing ...

Anti-N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2013
A case of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis with an atypical finding of transient increased intracranial pressure is reported. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis is an underrecognized, novel and treatable form of encephalitis being increasingly identified as an explanation of encephalitis in young adults.

The pharmacology of tacrine at N -methyl- d -aspartate receptors

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 2017
The mechanism of tacrine as a precognitive drug has been considered to be complex and not fully understood. It has been reported to involve a wide spectrum of targets involving cholinergic, gabaergic, nitrinergic and glutamatergic pathways. Here, we review the effect of tacrine and its derivatives on the NMDA receptors (NMDAR) with a focus on the ...

Temperature dependence of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor channels and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor excitatory postsynaptic currents

Neuroscience, 2010
N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors (NMDARs) are highly expressed in the CNS and mediate the slow component of excitatory transmission. The present study was aimed at characterizing the temperature dependence of the kinetic properties of native NMDARs, with special emphasis on the deactivation of synaptic NMDARs.

Allosteric Modulation of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors

1990
In this review we have attempted to describe the basis for current models of the NMDA receptor, and justify the need for the various binding sites that have been proposed. The NMDA receptor is clearly a complex molecule with a number of modulatory sites, any of which may have great functional significance.

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors and pain

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1995
The N-methyl-d-aspartate subtype of excitatory amino acid receptor is abundantly distributed throughout the central nervous system and is intimately associated with physiologic processes underlying acute and chronic pain states.

The N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor, a Precursor to N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Encephalitis, is Found in the Squamous Tissue of Ovarian Teratomas

International Journal of Gynecological Pathology, 2014
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is the most common antibody-mediated limbic encephalitis and is associated with underlying ovarian teratoma. Previous studies suggest that expression of NMDAR on teratoma neural tissue initiates an autoimmune response to NMDAR in the brain.

GRINL1A colocalizes with N-methyl D-aspartate receptor NR1 subunit and reduces N-methyl D-aspartate toxicity

NeuroReport, 2008
We hypothesized that proteins from the GRINL1A complex transcription unit called Gcom proteins modulate glutamatergic neurotransmission through interaction with the NR1 subunit of the N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Cotransfection of hemagglutinin-tagged Gcom1 (GRINL1A combined transcript 1) and NR1 cDNAs into HEK293 cells revealed overlapping ...
