Quantitative autoradiographic distribution patterns of sigma/PCP and NMDA receptors show striking similarities but not in all brain areas. We have identified an endogenous ligand of brain PCP receptors which noncompetitively antagonizes NMDA-induced neurotransmitter release from brain slices. These data support the concept that the sigma/PCP receptor ligands may exert their unique behavioral effects by indirect modulation of NMDA-mediated transmission.
σ/苯环己哌啶(PCP)受体和N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体的定量放射自显影分布模式显示出惊人的相似性,但并非在所有脑区都是如此。我们已经鉴定出一种脑PCP受体的内源性配体,它能非竞争性地拮抗NMDA诱导的脑片神经递质释放。这些数据支持了这样一种概念,即σ/PCP受体配体可能通过间接调节NMDA介导的传递来发挥其独特的行为效应。
