Dictionary » R » Receptors n-methyl-d-aspartate Receptors n-methyl-d-aspartatereceptors, n-methyl-d-aspartate A class of ionotropic glutamate receptors characterised by affinity for n-methyl-d-aspartate. Nmda receptors have an allosteric binding site for glycine which must be occupied for the channel to open efficiently and a site within the channel itself to which magnesium ions bind in a voltage-dependent manner. The positive voltage dependence of channel conductance and the high permeability of the conducting channel to calcium ions (as well as to monovalent cations) are important in excitotoxicity and neuronal plasticity. ![]()

Re: Cytokine - Receptor conceptsAs for my suggestion, you can do some biological experiments to determine the localization and distribution of your interested receptors with purchased specifc antibodies. For example, immunohistochemistry is a useful rechnique. To get a reference, you can visit http://www.immunohistochemistry.us/
