Receptors, Amino Acid

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Cell surface proteins that bind amino acids and trigger changes which influence the behavior of cells. Glutamate receptors are the most common receptors for fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the vertebrate central nervous system, and GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID and glycine receptors are the most common receptors for fast inhibition.  coord IM with specific amino acid (IM); DF: RECEPT AA   
Examples Receptors, GABA; Receptors, Glutamate; Receptors, Glycine 		Other names Amino Acid Receptors; Amino Acids Receptors; Amino Acid Receptor; Receptors, Amino Acids; Receptor, Amino Acid
