In the central nervous system, glycine binds to two recognition sites; one of them (G2), associated with the glutamate receptor, is insensitive to strychnine. Strychnine-insensitive sites were predominant in the forebrain areas and bound D-serine and D-alanine better than the respective L stereoisomers. [3H]D-serine was a more selective radioligand than [3H]glycine for the strychnine-insensitive sites. In the forebrain, the binding of both ligands was inhibited by the putative G2 receptor antagonists, 7-chlorokynurenate and 3-amino-1-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidone, while in pons and in spinal cord only the latter drug was effective. This may indicate the heterogeneity of strychnine-insensitive glycine recognition sites.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011149 Pons The front part of the hindbrain (RHOMBENCEPHALON) that lies between the MEDULLA and the midbrain (MESENCEPHALON) ventral to the cerebellum. It is composed of two parts, the dorsal and the ventral. The pons serves as a relay station for neural pathways between the CEREBELLUM to the CEREBRUM.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
