Descriptor English: Receptors, Amino Acid
Descriptor Spanish: Receptores de Aminoácidos
Descriptor receptores de aminoácidos
Scope note: Proteínas de la superficie celular que se unen a aminoácidos y que generan cambios que influyen en el comportamiento celular. Los receptores del glutamato son los receptores más comunes para la transmisión excitatoria sináptica rápida en el sistema nervioso central de los vertebrados, y los receptores de GABA y de la glicina son los receptores más comunes para la inhibición rápida.

Scope note: 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.
