NMDA receptor NR2 subunit dependence of the slow component of magnesium unblock.
NMDA receptor activity is important for many physiological functions, including synapse formation and alterations in synaptic strength. NMDA receptors are composed most commonly of NR1 and NR2 subunits. There are four NR2 subunits (NR2A-NR2D). NR2 subunit expression varies across both brain regions and developmental stages. The identity of the NR2 subunit within a functional NMDA receptor helps...
متن کاملSlow Mg 2 + unblock and inherent voltage dependence of NMDA receptors
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are a subtype of ligand-gated ionotropic glutamate receptors that are involved in most fast, excitatory neuronal transmission in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). NMDA receptor activity is crucial for normal brain function, and NMDA receptor dysregulation has been linked to a number of diseases of the CNS. There are several NMDA receptor subtypes....
متن کاملMechanistic and structural determinants of NMDA receptor voltage-dependent gating and slow Mg2+ unblock.
NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-mediated currents depend on membrane depolarization to relieve powerful voltage-dependent NMDAR channel block by external magnesium (Mg(o)(2+)). Mg(o)(2+) unblock from native NMDARs exhibits a fast component that is consistent with rapid Mg(o)(2+) -unbinding kinetics and also a slower, millisecond time scale component (slow Mg(o)(2+) unblock). In recombinant NMDARs, slow M...
متن کاملThe Effects of NR2 Subunit-Dependent NMDA Receptor Kinetics on Synaptic Transmission and CaMKII Activation
N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors are widely expressed in the brain and are critical for many forms of synaptic plasticity. Subtypes of the NMDA receptor NR2 subunit are differentially expressed during development; in the forebrain, the NR2B receptor is dominant early in development, and later both NR2A and NR2B are expressed. In heterologous expression systems, NR2A-containing receptor...
متن کاملGFAP and antibodies against NMDA receptor subunit NR2 as biomarkers for acute cerebrovascular diseases
We studied whether the serum levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and of antibodies against the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor subunit NR2 (NR2 RNMDA ) can discriminate between intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and ischaemic stroke (IS) in stroke patients. We prospectively recruited patients with suspected stroke (72 confirmed) and 52 healthy controls. The type of brain lesion (ICH or ...
