Antagonistic action on NMDA/GluN2B mediated currents of two peptides that were conantokin-G structure-based designed

Abstract Background The GluN2B subunit of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) modulates many physiological processes including learning, memory, and pain. Excessive increase in NMDAr/GluN2B activity has been associated with various disorders such neuropathic pain and neuronal death following h...
