Abstract

Neurotransmitter receptors are critical elements in intercellular signaling within the central nervous system and are divided into two major types based on their molecular structure and biophysical properties. The first are ionotropic receptors--ligand-gated ion channels that directly affect the membrane potential via passage of permeant ions (such as sodium and calcium) and mediate fast synaptic transmission. The second type are slower metabotropic receptors that are also ligand gated but depend on an interaction with guanine nucleotide-binding proteins and mediate signal transduction by activating second-messenger systems within the cell. In the past two decades, a wealth of information has emerged regarding the molecular biology and pharmacology of classic neurotransmitter receptors (including adrenergic, dopaminergic, serotonergic, cholinergic, glycine, gamma-aminobutyric acid [GABA(A)], and glutamate receptors). Further, the distribution of subunits comprising these receptors has been extensively studied. This review focuses on the molecular ontogeny of several of the major neurotransmitter receptor systems in the mammalian central nervous system, highlighting the role that some of these may play during brain development a...Continue Reading
