The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is composed of various conformations of multiple subunits (including NR1, NR2A-D, and NR3A-B). Peak expression of the NR3A subunit occurs approximately 2-3 weeks postnatal, with low levels in adulthood. In the brain, the NR3A subunit is localized primarily in the amygdala, hippocampus, striatum, and cortex. These regions are involved in the modulation of prepulse inhibition of startle (PPI), an operational measure of sensorimotor gating that is modulated by NMDA receptors. NR3A reduces NMDA current in native neurons expressing NR1 and NR2 subunits and forms glycine receptors when expressed with NR1 in the absence of NR2 in both oocyte and mammalian expression systems.
