Term Name: AMPA glutamate receptor activity
Synonyms: alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate selective glutamate receptor activity, AMPA receptor activity
Definition: An ionotropic glutamate receptor activity that exhibits fast gating by glutamate and acts by opening a cation channel permeable to sodium, potassium, and, in the absence of a GluR2 subunit, calcium.
