Metazoan evolution of glutamate receptors reveals unreported phylogenetic groups and divergent lineage-specific events

Metazoan evolution of glutamate receptors reveals unreported phylogenetic groups and divergent lineage-specific events

Glutamate receptors are divided in two unrelated families: ionotropic (iGluR), driving synaptic transmission, and metabotropic (mGluR), which modulate synaptic strength. The present classification of GluRs is based on vertebrate proteins and has remained unchanged for over two decades. Here we repor...
