Palmitoylation of Kainate Receptors. Ionotropic kainite glutamate receptor GluR6 was the first ionotropic receptor shown to be palmitoylated [178].
Palmitoylation as a Functional Regulator of Neurotransmitter Receptors
The superfamily consists of 3 subtypes: kainate receptors, alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4 isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors and N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA) receptors.
EFFICACY OF KETAMINE GARGLE FOR ATTENUATING POSTOPERATIVE SORE THROAT IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING GENERAL ANAESTHESIA WITH ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION
NMDAR is a glutamate ionotropic receptor (such as AMPA and kainate receptors) and it was identified 30 years ago because of the selective antagonism by D-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid [10].
Efficacy of Memantine in Schizophrenic Patients: A Systematic Review
Overstimulation of glutamate receptors such as NMDA, AMPA, and kainate receptors can cause an influx of calcium ions into the postsynaptic membrane.
Vitamin E-Mediated Modulation of Glutamate Receptor Expression in an Oxidative Stress Model of Neural Cells Derived from Embryonic Stem Cell Cultures
Our previous study showed that GluR5-containing kainate receptors (non-NMDA glutamate receptor) regulate the inhibitory synaptic transmission through endogenous glutamate; therefore, we tested how neonatal propofol and etomidate exposure affect endogenous glutamatergic tonic regulation to inhibitory synaptic transmission in P90 approximately rats.[sup][17] To determine whether NMDA receptors are involved in the tonic glutamatergic input on GABAergic neurotransmission, we tested the effect of AP5, a selective NMDA receptor antagonist, on sIPSCs.

Particularly the NMDA receptors are the most sensitive to the effects of ethanol, even if AMPA and kainate receptors are also modulated by this drug (Dodd, Beckmann, Davidson & Wilce, 2000).

However, E3 ubiquitin ligase may affect the synaptic functions in the central nervous system and the stability of kainate receptors, which form a class of glutamate receptors implicated in epilepsy [19, 20].

Kainate Receptors. The only glutamate receptors shown in Table 1 are the kainate receptors GluK, among which GluK2 was upregulated and edited in astrocytes, whereas GluK4 is upregulated, but not edited, in neurons following chronic fluoxetine treatment [22].
Signal transduction in Astrocytes during chronic or acute treatment with drugs (SSRIs, antibipolar drugs, GABA-ergic drugs, and benzodiazepines) ameliorating mood disorders
Kainate Receptors. The existence of kainate receptors has been known for sometime, yet little is understood about the contribution to the pathology of PD or the potential of kainate receptors as therapeutic targets in PD and PD-LID.
