Abstract:Glutamate receptor is the key excitatory receptor in main central nervous system. It involved in many important physiological and path-physiological process, such as learning and synapse plasticity. Recent study shows glutamate receptor make interaction with a series trans-membrane proteins at post–synaptic membrane, name as auxiliary subunits. These proteins are required for glutamate receptor trafficking and gating. The discovery of these proteins revealed the complexity of synaptic transmission.

Key words:Glutamate receptor,glutamate receptor auxiliary subunit,receptor trafficking,receptor gating
