Glutamate is the most important excitatory neurotransmitter of the mammalian central
nervous system (CNS), playing an important role in memory, synaptic plasticity and neuronal …

Metabotropic (G-protein-coupled) glutamate (mGlu) receptors have now emerged as a
recognized, but still relatively new area of excitatory amino acid research. Current …

In 1991 a new type of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) was cloned, the type 1a
metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor, which, despite possessing the defining seven …

Astrocytes are the major glial cells in the brain, which play a supporting role in the energy
and nutritional supply of neurons. They were initially regarded as passive space-filling cells …

Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors respond to glutamate, the major excitatory
neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain, mediating a modulatory role that is critical for …

Covering up to February 2015 Phenylglycine-type amino acids occur in a wide variety of
peptide natural products, including glycopeptide antibiotics and biologically active linear …

This work investigates the metabolic origin of triacylglycerol (TAG) formed during lipid
droplet (LD) biogenesis induced by stress. Cytotoxic inhibitors of fatty acid synthase induced …

Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS that is involved in numerous
cellular functions, including cell death and survival. Metabotropic glutamate receptors …

Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system
(CNS) and exerts its actions via a number of ionotropic glutamate receptors/channels and …

Ten years after the isoforms of mammalian phospholipase D (PLD), PLD1 and 2, were
cloned, their roles in the brain remain speculative but several lines of evidence now …
