Which of the following receptors is both voltage-dependent and ligand-dependent?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NMDA receptors are both voltage-dependent and ligand-dependent. They are activated by the binding of glutamate as a ligand and a simultaneous depolarization of the neuron's membrane potential. This allows for the influx of both sodium and calcium ions, making NMDA receptors unique among ionotropic receptors. The other options listed are only ligand-gated ion channels, and are not voltage-dependent.
