Receptors, Glycine

Glycinreceptorer

Svensk definition

Cellytereceptorer som binder glycin med hög affinitet och utlöser intracellulära förändringar som påverkar cellers beteende. Glycinreceptorer i det centrala nervsystemet har en inbyggd kloridkanal och har oftast en blockerande funktion.

Engelsk definition

Cell surface receptors that bind GLYCINE with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Glycine receptors in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM have an intrinsic chloride channel. GlyA receptor is sensitive to STRYCHNINE and localized in the post-synaptic membrane of inhibitory glycinergic neurons. GlyB receptor is insensitive to strychnine and associated with the excitatory NMDA receptor.
