Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors provides the first detailed survey of the biochemical, physiological, and pharmacological properties of recombinant ionotropic glutamate receptors. The distinguished contributors show how the molecular characteristics of these receptors account for many of the properties of native ionotropic glutamate receptors. They also examine in detail the properties of glutamate receptor subunits, including receptor modulation by phosphorylation and the anatomical localization of specific glutamate receptor subunits as determined by in situ hybridization and immunochemistry. The Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors conveys the first clear insights into the molecular bases underlying the wealth of pharmacological and physiological data on these receptors.
