Abstract:
Neurotransmission by excitatory amino acids (EAAS) such as glutamate is mediated via membrane-bound surface receptors. DNA coding for EAA receptors of one family of human NMDA-binding type receptors has now been isolated and receptor proteins characterized. Herein described are recombinant cell lines which produce the EAA receptor as a heterologous membrane-bound product. Also described are related aspects of the invention, which are of commercial significance. Included is use of the cell lines as a tool for discovery of compounds which modulate EAA receptor stimulation.
Abstract:
Described herein are isolated polynucleotides which code for an AMPA-type human CNS receptor, designated the human GluR2B receptor. The receptor is characterized structurally and the construction and use of cell lines expressing these receptor is disclosed.
Abstract:
Neurotransmission by excitatory amino acids (EAAs) such as glutamate is mediated via membrane-bound surface receptors. DNA coding for one family of these receptors of the kainate-binding type of EAA receptors, has now been isolated and the receptor protein characterized. Herein described are recombinant cell lines which produce the EAA receptor as a heterologous membrane-bound product. Also described are related aspects of the invention, which are of commercial significance. Included is use of the cell lines as a tool for discovery of compounds which modulate EAA receptor stimulation.
