This amino acid's receptors can be blocked by picrotoxin and strychnine.
This compound is combined with methanol and Tris in a common transfer buffer used in Western blots. A mutation in the alpha subunit of this compound's receptor is the cause of hyperekplexia. This compound combines with cysteine and glutamate to form the antioxidant tripeptide glutathione. This amino acid's receptors can be blocked by picrotoxin and strychnine. It's not serine, but this amino acid acts as a co-agonist along with glutamate for (*) NMDA receptors, and in the brain stem and spinal cord, it serves as the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter.
