Term Information

Accession
GO:0004972
Name
NMDA glutamate receptor activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
N-methyl-D-aspartate selective glutamate receptor activity, NMDA receptor
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
An cation channel that opens in response to binding by extracellular glutmate, but only if glycine is also bound and the membrane is depolarized. Voltage gating is indirect, due to ejection of bound magnesium from the pore at permissive voltages. Source: PMID:10049997, GOC:mah
Comment
The name of this receptor comes from its selective activation by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Note that this term represents an activity and not a gene product.
