glutamate receptor activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Combining with glutamate and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity. [GOC:ai, GOC:signaling]
Glutamate receptor activity is a crucial process in the nervous system, mediating the excitatory neurotransmission vital for learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity. Glutamate receptors, a family of ionotropic and metabotropic receptors, are activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate. Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), including AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptors, directly control ion channels, allowing the flow of ions like sodium, potassium, and calcium across the neuronal membrane. This influx of ions leads to depolarization of the postsynaptic neuron, initiating an excitatory signal. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), on the other hand, activate signaling pathways involving G proteins and second messengers, contributing to various cellular processes such as gene transcription and long-term potentiation. The precise molecular function of glutamate receptor activity encompasses: 1) Binding of glutamate to the receptor's ligand-binding domain, triggering a conformational change. 2) Opening of the ion channel in iGluRs, facilitating ion flow across the membrane. 3) Activation of intracellular signaling pathways in mGluRs, leading to downstream effects. 4) Desensitization of the receptor upon prolonged glutamate exposure, preventing excessive neuronal excitation. Glutamate receptor activity is tightly regulated by various factors, including the availability of glutamate, the presence of modulatory molecules, and the phosphorylation state of the receptor. Dysregulation of glutamate receptor function is implicated in neurological disorders like epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and stroke, highlighting the critical role of these receptors in neuronal health and function.'

It is a prodrug of dextrorphan and used as an antitussive drug for suppressing cough. Dextromethorphan: Methyl analog of DEXTRORPHAN that shows high affinity binding to several regions of the brain, including the medullary cough center. This compound is an NMDA receptor antagonist (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and acts as a non-competitive channel blocker. It is one of the widely used ANTITUSSIVES, and is also used to study the involvement of glutamate receptors in neurotoxicity. | 6-methoxy-11-methyl-1,3,4,9,10,10a-hexahydro-2H-10,4a-(epiminoethano)phenanthrene | antitussive; environmental contaminant; neurotoxin; NMDA receptor antagonist; oneirogen; prodrug; xenobiotic |
