    J Neurophysiol 99:122-32. 2008
    ..Taken together, these results show that NR3A subunits contribute to NMDAR responses from both synaptic and extrasynaptic receptors, likely composed of NR1, NR2, and NR3 subunits...

    Juan C Piña-Crespo
    Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, Salk Institute, and Center for Neuroscience, Aging, and Stem Cell Research, Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute, La Jolla, California 92037, USA
    J Neurosci 30:11501-5. 2010
    ..d-Serine responses were abrogated in NR3A-deficient mice. Our results suggest the presence of functional NR1/NR3 receptors in CNS myelin...

    Nobuki Nakanishi
    Center for Neuroscience, Aging, and Stem Cell Research, Burnham Institute for Medical Research, La Jolla, California 92037, USA
    J Neurosci 29:5260-5. 2009
    ..These data suggest that endogenous NR3A protects neurons, and exogenously added NR3A increases neuroprotection and could be potentially exploited as a therapeutic...

    Shu ichi Okamoto
    Center for Neuroscience, Aging and Stem Cell Research, Burnham Institute for Medical Research, La Jolla, California, USA
    Nat Med 15:1407-13. 2009
    ..Our findings offer a rational therapeutic approach for protecting susceptible neurons in Huntington's disease...

    Hiroto Takahashi
    Center for Neuroscience and Aging, Burnham Institute for Medical Research, 10901 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA
    Neuron 53:53-64. 2007
    ..These thiols may be nitrosylated preferentially during increasing hypoxia or stroke conditions, thus preventing excessive activity associated with cytotoxicity while avoiding blockade of physiologically active NMDARs...

    Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California 92037, USA
    J Neurochem 100:1505-14. 2007
    ..Our results suggest a novel function of calnuc in modulating the levels of APP and its proteolytic metabolites, which may further affect the patho/physiological functions of APP including AD pathogenesis...
