Modulation of Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors and Acid-Sensing Ion Channels by Nitric Oxide
Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR) are ligand-gated ion channels and are densely expressed in broad areas of mammalian brains. Like iGluRs, acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC) are ligand (H+)-gated channels and are enriched in brain cells and peripheral sensory neurons. Both ion channels are enri...
