N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are a class of
ionotropic glutamate receptors. NMDA channel has been shown to be
involved in long-term potentiation, an activity-dependent increase
in the efficiency of synaptic transmission thought to underlie
certain kinds of memory and learning. NMDA receptor channels are
heteromers composed of the key receptor subunit NMDAR1 (GRIN1) and
1 or more of the 4 NMDAR2 subunits: NMDAR2A (GRIN2A), NMDAR2B
(GRIN2B), NMDAR2C (GRIN2C), and NMDAR2D (GRIN2D). [provided by
