NMDA receptor subtype of glutamate-gated ion channels possesses high calcium permeability and voltage-dependent sensitivity to magnesium. Activation requires binding of agonist to both types of subunits.
Mutations in GRIN2A and GRIN2B encoding regulatory subunits of NMDA receptors cause variable neurodevelopmental phenotypes.Endele S., Rosenberger G., Geider K., Popp B., Tamer C., Stefanova I., Milh M., Kortum F., Fritsch A., Pientka F.K., Hellenbroich Y., Kalscheuer V.M., Kohlhase J., Moog U., Rappold G., Rauch A., Ropers H.H., von Spiczak S. , Tonnies H., Villeneuve N., Villard L., Zabel B., Zenker M., Laube B., Reis A., Wieczorek D., Van Maldergem L., Kutsche K.Nat.
