Difference between AMPA and Ligand-gated ion channel

AMPA vs. Ligand-gated ion channel

AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) is a compound that is a specific agonist for the AMPA receptor, where it mimics the effects of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.

Similarities between AMPA and Ligand-gated ion channel

AMPA and Ligand-gated ion channel have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, AMPA receptor, Chemical synapse, Glutamic acid, N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid, Neurotransmitter.

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.

AMPA receptor

The α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (also known as AMPA receptor, AMPAR, or quisqualate receptor) is an ionotropic transmembrane receptor for glutamate that mediates fast synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS).

Chemical synapse

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands.

Glutamic acid

Glutamic acid (symbol Glu or E) is an α-amino acid with formula.

N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid

N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid or N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) is an amino acid derivative that acts as a specific agonist at the NMDA receptor mimicking the action of glutamate, the neurotransmitter which normally acts at that receptor.
