Difference between NMDA receptor and Phencyclidine

NMDA receptor vs. Phencyclidine

The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (also known as the NMDA receptor or NMDAR), is a glutamate receptor and ion channel protein found in nerve cells. Phencyclidine (PCP), also known as angel dust among other names, is a drug used for its mind altering effects.

Similarities between NMDA receptor and Phencyclidine
