amino acid receptors
Term · Agriculture and food · MLC-T-AGR-000302
Cell surface proteins that bind amino acids and trigger changes which influence the behavior of cells. Glutamate receptors are the most common receptors for fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the vertebrate central nervous system, and gamma-aminobutyric acid and glycine receptors are the most common receptors for fast inhibition.
