General description

Glutamate receptors (GluRs) can be categorized as ionotropic or metabotropic and subcatergorized by their agonist preferences (NMDA, AMPA or Kainic acid). There are four types of AMPA selective GluR subunits (GluR1, GluR2, GluR3 and GluR4). Tetrameric or pentameric combinations of different subunits contributes to the functional diversity of AMPA receptors. In general, AMPA receptors mediate fast synaptic current at most excitatory synapses, with stoichiometry characterized by subtype composition. GluR1 is believed to mediate calcium influx, and has a vital function in synaptic plasticity related to learning. Reduction in GluR1 has been caused by FMR1 gene mutation and contributes to fragile X syndrome. Changes in expression of GluR1 receptors on dopamine neurons have been correlated with sensitization of drugs of abuse.
