N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (N-Methyl-D-Aspartate, NMDA) receptor is an important subtype of excitatory ionotropic glutamate receptor, which has high permeability to calcium ions. NMDA receptors can regulate synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. NMDA receptors mainly mediate the dynamics and plasticity of postsynaptic currents. The opening of NMDA receptor channels requires membrane potential depolarization, release of blocker magnesium ions, and binding of glutamate and glycine. NMDA receptors usually consist of two essential GluN1 and two variable GluN2 (2A-2D) or GluN3 (3A-3B) subunits. The different gate opening mechanism, biophysical and pharmacological properties of each subunit, and the different distribution of brain regions during development, determine the diversity of NMDA receptors in vivo.
The excitatory neurotoxicity of amino acids, especially glutamic acid (Glu) has attracted more and more attention. Glutamate and glutamate receptors participate in excitatory synaptic transmission of neurons, and regulate various forms of learning and memory processes. In Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, it can be observed that the excitatory response of glutamate is through excessive activation of N-methyl_D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, thereby making the increase of calcium ions in the cell leads to the death of neurons. Therefore, NMDA receptors may also be a potential target for Alzheimer's disease.
