You identified a new receptor for glutamate. Based on the sequence of the protein you predict that it has seven transmembrane spanning regions. What kind of glutamate receptor do you think this will be most like? Select all that apply.
A) AMPA
B) G-protein-coupled receptor
C) Ionotropic
D) Metabotropic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

G-protein-coupled receptors are seven transmembrane proteins. G-protein-coupled receptors are also metabotropic receptors, so choice (d) is also correct. AMPA is an ionotropic receptor and these receptors have fewer than seven transmembrane spanning regions
