Abstract:N-methyl-D-Aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are calcium-permeable ion channels that are ubiquitously expressed within the glutamatergic postsynaptic density. Phosphorylation of NMDAR subunits defines receptor activity and surface localization. Modulation of NMDAR phosphorylation by kinases and phosphatases regulates calcium entering the cell and subsequent activation of calcium-dependent processes. Spinophilin is the major synaptic protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) targeting protein that controls phosphorylation of myri… Show more
