Posttranslational regulation of AMPA receptor trafficking and function

Publication year: 2011 Source: Current Opinion in Neurobiology, Available online 14 October 2011 Wei Lu, Katherine W Roche In the mammalian central nervous system, the majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmission is mediated by glutamate acting on AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors. The abundance of AMPA receptors at the synapse can be modulated through receptor trafficking, which dynamically regulates many fundamental brain functions, including learning and memory
