Glutamate Receptor
This initial view of the receptor()(MF) shows the overall structure while () gives a space filling model.
Zooming in at the top of the receptor () one can view the amino terminal domain, which is a part of the extracellular domain. This domain is implicated in receptor assembly, trafficking, and localization.
Moving toward the bottom of the receptor () one can view the transmembrane domain.
This view () highlights the area where a receptor antagonist, 2K200225, will bind.
Close up view of the ligand binding site () of the nature ligand glutamate.
