D-cycloserine acts as a partial agonist at the glycine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor expressed in Xenopus oocytes
Abstract
In the Xenopus oocyte preparation, D-cycloserine (DCS) had the profile of a partial agonist at the glycine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor. Maximal NMDA responses in the presence of DCS were only 40-50% of those in the presence of glycine. Glycine and D-serine were agonists at this site. The actions of DCS were competitively antagonized by HA-966, a known glycine antagonist.
