Structure, function, and pharmacology of glutamate receptor ion channels

…, D Bowie, H Furukawa, FS Menniti, AI Sobolevsky… - Pharmacological …, 2021 - ASPET
Many physiologic effects of l-glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian
central nervous system, are mediated via signaling by ionotropic glutamate receptors (…

Structure and gating of the glutamate receptor ion channel

LP Wollmuth, AI Sobolevsky - Trends in neurosciences, 2004 - cell.com
Ionotropic glutamate receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate rapid information
