Modulation of ionotropic glutamate receptors in retinal neurons by the amino acid D-serine
D-Serine is regarded as an obligatory co-agonist required for the activation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors (NMDARs). In the retina D-serine and a second NMDAR coagonist, glycine, are present at similar concentration and the cells that produce and release them are in close apposition. This arran...
