Abstract

This proposal aims to determine the subunit complements, subunit ratios and properties of native N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors expressed in adult mammalian brain. Novel sequence-directed antibodies will be raised and used for the quantitative immunoaffinity purification and characterisation of NMDA receptor subpopulations. In parallel, the properties of cloned receptor subtypes with defined subunit complements will be studied focusing particularly on the splice forms of NR1.
