Kainate receptors act as synaptogenic molecules
kainate-type glutamate receptor (KAR)A paper on the function of synapse formation is available online.became。KAR is、through ionotropic and metabotropic effects.、Involved in various neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders。However、Compared to AMPA-type and NMDA-type glutamate receptors,、The biological properties of KARs remain unclear in many ways。In this research、K.A.R.、Completely separate from ion channels and metabotropic effects、We revealed that it acts as a synapse organizer that creates synapses themselves.。In joint research with the Juan Lerma laboratory in Spain.、Associate Professor Kakegawa and Ana Paternain are first authors。For Press releaseClick here. 。
