Excitatory amino acid receptor agonist information


An excitatory amino acid receptor agonist, or glutamate receptor agonist, is a chemical substance which agonizes one or more of the glutamate receptors.[1]

Examples include:

  • AMPA
  • Glutamic acid
  • Ibotenic acid
  • Kainic acid
  • N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid
  • Quisqualic acid
