AMPARs are made up of different subunits, including GluA1, GluA2, GluA3, and GluA4, which determine their functional properties. Findings suggest a broader role for AMPARs in calcium transport ...

The receptors are known to have a protein called GluA2, but the team found that some don’t – and interestingly, the ones that lack GluA2 are the ones that succumb to synaptopathy. On closer ...

The research particularly focuses on the GluA2 subunit of AMPARs, a key component in transmitting signals at synapses, the junctions where neurons connect. The team employed an advanced imaging ...
