GONUTS has been updated to MW1.31 Most things seem to be working but be sure to report problems.
Category:GO:0004972 ! NMDA glutamate receptor activity
name: NMDA glutamate receptor activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "A cation channel that opens in response to binding by extracellular glutmate, but only if glycine or D-serine is also bound and the membrane is depolarized. Voltage gating is indirect, due to ejection of bound magnesium from the pore at permissive voltages." [GOC:mah, PMID:10049997, PMID:7790891]
comment: The name of this receptor comes from its selective activation by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Note that this term represents an activity and not a gene product.
