AMPA receptors were originally discriminated from other glutamate receptors by their affinity for the agonist AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid). They are probably the most common mediators of fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. Several subtypes have been cloned, and for some types the traditional distinction from kainate receptors may not apply (MSH). nifext_5251 AMPA-type glutamate-gated cationic channel 2011-02-02T00:00:00 Glutamate-gated cationic channel AMPA receptor AMPA AMPAR Solitary tract nucleus principal cell Thalamus geniculate nucleus (lateral) principal neuron Cochlear nucleus (ventral) bushy cell Cerebellum Purkinje cell Cochlear nucleus (ventral) globular bushy cell Neocortex pyramidal cell layer 5-6 Cochlea inner hair cell Olfactory cortex horizontal cell Neocortex pyramidal cell Retina ganglion cell Olfactory epithelium main supporting cell Olfactory cortex semilunar cell Amygdala basolateral nuclear complex pyramidal neuron Cochlear nucleus (dorsal) granule cell Cochlear nucleus (ventral) D cell Cochlear nucleus (ventral) multipolar T cell Cochlear nucleus (dorsal) vertical cell Olfactory bulb (accessory) glomerular layer cell Olfactory bulb (main) granule cell Olfactory bulb (main) mitral cell Cochlear nucleus (ventral) octopus cell Olfactory bulb (accessory) granule cell Olfactory bulb (main) adult-born granule cell Amygdala basolateral nuclear complex nonpyramidal PV basket cell Amygdala basolateral nuclear complex nonpyramidal PV chandelier cell Amygdala basolateral nuclear complex nonpyramidal SOM neuron Amygdala lateral central nucleus medium spiny neuron Amygdala intercalated nuclei small spiny neuron Neostriatum direct pathway spiny neuron Neostriatum indirect pathway spiny neuron Neocortex primary motor area pyramidal layer 2-3 cell Neocortex primary motor area pyramidal layer 5 corticospinal cell Suprachiasmatic nucleus principal neuron Mauthner cell Olfactory cortex deep pyramidal cell Olfactory cortex superficial pyramidal cell NeurotransmitterReceptors Glutamate-gated cationic channel Synonym SuperCategory ModifiedDate Label Id Ionotropic Glutamate Receptor Glutamate receptor Has role Definition CurationStatus Created
