Difference between Glycine receptor and Receptor (biochemistry)

Glycine receptor vs. Receptor (biochemistry)

The glycine receptor (abbreviated as GlyR or GLR) is the receptor of the amino acid neurotransmitter glycine. In biochemistry and pharmacology, a receptor is a protein molecule that receives chemical signals from outside a cell.

Similarities between Glycine receptor and Receptor (biochemistry)

Glycine receptor and Receptor (biochemistry) have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha helix, GABAA receptor, Glycine, Ligand-gated ion channel, Neurotransmitter, Strychnine.

Alpha helix

The alpha helix (α-helix) is a common motif in the secondary structure of proteins and is a righthand-spiral conformation (i.e. helix) in which every backbone N−H group donates a hydrogen bond to the backbone C.

GABAA receptor

The GABAA receptor (GABAAR) is an ionotropic receptor and ligand-gated ion channel.

Glycine

Glycine (symbol Gly or G) is the amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain.

Ligand-gated ion channel

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.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Strychnine

Strychnine (also or) is a highly toxic, colorless, bitter, crystalline alkaloid used as a pesticide, particularly for killing small vertebrates such as birds and rodents.

Glycine receptor and Receptor (biochemistry) Comparison

Glycine receptor has 50 relations, while Receptor (biochemistry) has 95. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 4.14% = 6 / (50 + 95).
