Cholesterol acts as a sensor of NMDA receptor activation and as a trigger of downstream signaling by engaging small GTPase activation and AMPA receptor synaptic delivery during long-term potentiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
