Crystal structure of the kainate receptor GluK3 ligand binding domain in complex with (S)-glutamate
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 21907808
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]
