Kavli Affiliate: Richard Huganir | Authors: William Dylan Hale, Richard L. Huganir and Edward C Twomey | Summary: AMPA-subtype glutamate receptors (AMPARs), composed of subunits GluA1-4, mediate fast, excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. After glutamate binding, AMPAR ion channels exhibit multiple subconductance states that tune neuronal responses to glutamate. GluA4 is the rarest subunit […]
