Increasing data suggest that glutamate might act as a cell-signaling molecule in non-neuronal tissues such as the skin. Here we demonstrate the presence of functional N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptors in human keratinocytes. NMDA receptor expression strongly reflects the degree of
## Abstract Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate retina. The N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate glutamate receptor (NMDAR) is assembled as a tetramer containing NR1 and NR2, and possibly NR3 subunits, NR1 being essential for the formation of the ion channel. The NMDAR1 (NR1) gene
The cell-attached patch-clamp mode has been applied in cultured rat hippocampal neurons to record single channel currents through the ion channel which is coupled to activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. A channel, with a conductance of 37 pS, was studied with either NMDA or D-cis-
