Preferred Term:

receptores de glutamato

Definition:
Proteínas de la superficie celular que se unen al glutamato y generan cambios que influyen en el comportamiento de las células. Entre ellos se incluyen los receptores ionotrópicos (receptores de AMPA, cainato y N-metilo-D-aspartato), que controlan directamente los canales iónicos, y los receptores metabotrópicos, que actúan a través de sistemas mensajeros secundarios. Constituyen los mediadores más comunes de la rápida transmisión sináptica excitatoria en el sistema nervioso central. Además, participan en los mecanismos de la memoria y de numerosas enfermedades.
