Abstract:
Specificity of glutamate receptors in the P2 synaptosomal fraction from the cerebral cortex of newborn rats was studied by measuring (45)Ca(2+) uptake by synaptosomes in the presence of agonists of ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. It was shown that P2 synaptosomal fraction from rat cortex contains NMDA receptors, kainate receptors, and group 1 metabotropic receptors.
