A tetrameric subunit stoichiometry for a glutamate receptor-channel complex.

Abstract excerpt

The structure of glutamate receptor-channel (GluR) subunits has recently been shown to differ from that of other ligand-gated channels and to contain a voltage-gated channel-like pore-forming motif. The view that the structure of GluR complexes is similar to the pentameric structure of other ligand-gated channels was questioned here. Studies of the response properties of the GluR1 subunit of the AMPA subtype of...
