Analysis of M4 transmembrane domains in NMDA receptor function: a negative allosteric modulation site at the GluN1 M4 is determining the efficiency of neurosteroid modulation

This study investigates the role of the M4 transmembrane domain in NMDA receptor function, showing that its deletion leads to nonfunctional receptors, but functional rescue is possible with isolated M4 peptides, and that M4 interfaces are critical for neurosteroid modulation.
