Abstract excerpt
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are responsible for fast excitatory neurotransmission in the mammalian brain, and are critical regulators of neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity. The three main types of iGluRs (AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptors) are composed of distinct subunit populations. The tetrameric kainate receptors can be assembled from a combination of five different types of subunits...
