Abstract

Introduction. The AMPA (R-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptor mediates fast excitatory neurotransmission at the majority of synapses in the mammalian central nervous system. Native AMPA receptors are likely constituted as heterooligomers, composed of one or more of the AMPA receptor subunits GluR1, 2, 3, and 4. 1 Like other ligand-gated ion channels, AMPA receptor function can be ...
