Ionotropic Glutamate Receptor AMPA 1 Is Associated with Ovulation Rate
Ionotropic glutamate receptors mediate most excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system by opening ion channels upon the binding of glutamate. Despite the essential roles of glutamate in the control of reproduction and anterior pituitary hormone secretion, there is a limited understanding of how glutamate receptors control ovulation. Here we reveal the function of the ionotropic ...

متن کاملGenetic analysis of neuronal ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits.
In the brain, fast, excitatory synaptic transmission occurs primarily through AMPA- and NMDA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors. These receptors are composed of subunit proteins that determine their biophysical properties and trafficking behaviour. Therefore, determining the function of these subunits and receptor subunit composition is essential for understanding the physiological properties ...
متن کاملIonotropic GABA and Glutamate Receptor Mutations and Human Neurologic Diseases.
The advent of whole exome/genome sequencing and the technology-driven reduction in the cost of next-generation sequencing as well as the introduction of diagnostic-targeted sequencing chips have resulted in an unprecedented volume of data directly linking patient genomic variability to disorders of the brain. This information has the potential to transform our understanding of neurologic disord...
متن کاملLigand-specific conformations of an ionotropic glutamate receptor.
A simple in silico procedure is proposed with a view to predict the agonist or antagonist character of new, AMPA-type Glu receptor channel ligands. Based on the experimental binding domain structures, the orientation of a single Lys residue close to the ligand binding core was found to be diagnostic of ligand-induced conformational changes. Acting as a switch, the position of the Lys residue in...
