Antagonist Comments
GV196771A has two binding sites on rat GluN1 subunits expressed in HEK293 cells. The low affinity site has a Ki value of 121-153 nM depending on the splice variant tested [2].
Immunopharmacology Comments
Autoantibodies that target GluN1 cause anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis [8,11,14]. Approximately 50% of cases occur in the presence ovarian teratoma. The condition can manifest postviral infection [12], but many cases are idiopathic [7]. Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis has been identified in a non-human mammal [13], and fulminant disease can be induced in a mouse model by active immunisation with conformationally stabilised, native-like NMDA holoreceptors (GluN1-GluN2B tetramers embedded in liposomes) [4].
