The delta subfamily of glutamate receptors: characterization of receptor chimeras and mutants.

Abstract excerpt

The delta receptors, GluD1 and GluD2, are regarded as a subfamily of the ionotropic glutamate receptors solely because of sequence homology. While they play important roles in cerebellar function and high-frequency hearing and appear to serve structural functions at synapses, ligand-gated ion channel function has not been observed. However, we have previously shown that GluD2 can form functional ion channels when...
