“…NMDARs contain a combination of seven principal subunits (GluN1, GluN2A through GluN2D, and GluN3A and GluN3B), all of which share a common membrane topology that includes four membrane domains (called M1 through M4), an extracellular N terminus, an extracellular loop connecting the M3 and M4 domains, and an intracellular C terminus (3). Both the number and type of NMDARs at the cell surface are regulated at multiple levels, including protein synthesis, subunit assembly, processing in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), intracellular trafficking via the Golgi apparatus (GA), internalization, recycling, and degradation (1)(2)(3)(4).…”
