TRANSMITTER RECEPTORS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF STEROID SIGNALS AND UNCONVENTIONAL GAS TRANSMIT- TERS (NO, CO), REGULAR NEUROMESSENGERS CAN NOT DIFFUSE THROUGH THE CELL MEMBRANE THEIR EFFECTS ARE MEDIATED BY RECEPTORS THAT ARE EMBEDDED INTO THE POST- SYNAPTIC MEMBRANE RECEPTORS ARE COMPLEX PROTEINS THAT SHOW HIGH-AFFINITY BINDING FOR TRANSMITTER LIGANDS LIGAND BINDING ALTERS THE CONFORMATION OF THE RECEPTOR THAT EVOKES POSTSYNAPTIC RESPONSES THE RESPONSE DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT OF THE TRANSMITTER, THE NUMBER AND STATE OF THE RECEPTORS TRANSMITTER RECEPTORS BELONG TO TWO CATEGORIES: Ø Ø IONOTROPIC RECEPTORS METABOTROPIC RECEPTORS 4
TRANSMITTER RECEPTORS IONOTROPIC RECEPTORS FORM PORES, SPECIFIC ION CHANNELS IN THE MEMBRANE THAT ALLOW THE PASSAGE OF IONS UPON ACTIVATION. THEY PERFORM AS LIGAND- GATED ION CHANNELS METABOTROPIC RECEPTORS ARE COUPLED TO GTP-BINDING PROTEINS (G PROTEINS) VIA THEIR INTRACELLULAR DOMAINS. G PROTEIN ACTIVATION EVOKES SECONDARY RESPONSES IN THE CELL THAT ALTER THEIR METABOLISM.

AMPA receptor Structure of a prototype a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4- isoxazoleproprionate (AMPA) receptor subunit. The common transmembrane topology of all AMPA receptors is shown with individual features taken from glutamate receptor (GluR) subunit 1, GluR2 and GluR3. The glutamate binding site, the glutamine/arginine site and the flipflop cassette are common to all AMPA receptor subunits. The phosphorylation sites are specific to GluR1, the N-ethyl-maleimide sensitive factor (NSF) site is specific to GluR2, and the glutamate receptor interacting protein, AMPA receptor binding protein and protein interacting with Ckinase (GRIPABP Pick1) site is specific to GluR2 and GluR3. 22
