Function
[GRIK3_RAT] Receptor for glutamate that functions as ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. This receptor binds domoate > kainate >> L-glutamate = quisqualate >> AMPA = NMDA.[1]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Starting from 1-4 and 7 structural templates, analogues based on bioisosteric replacements (5a-c vs 1, 2 and 6 vs 7) were synthesized for completing the SAR analysis. Interesting binding properties at GluA2, GluK1, and GluK3 receptors were discovered. The requirements for GluK3 interaction were elucidated by determining the X-ray structures of the GluK3-LBD with 2 and 5c and by computational studies. Antinociceptive potential was demonstrated for GluK1 partial agonist 3 and antagonist 7 (2 mg/kg ip).
