Abstract
The present invention discloses novel DNAs that encode proteins having electrophysiological and pharmacological properties characteristic of glutamate receptors. The glutamate receptors are exemplified by proteins encoded by representative cDNA clones GluR1, GluR2, GluR3, GluR4, GluR5, GluR6 and GluR7, fragments thereof, and functional combinations of these glutamate receptor proteins and/or fragments. DNA sequences from the cDNA clones for GluR1, GluR2, GluR3, GluR4 and GluR5 are especially useful as probes, thus enabling those skilled in the art to identify, without undue experimentation, other members of the L-glutamate receptor family.
