N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are a family of ionotropic glutamate receptors that mediate a slow, Ca permeable component of excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS). NMDARs are a tetrameric assembly of two glycine-binding GluN1 subunits and two glutamate-binding GluN2 subunits. The GluN1 subunit is expressed throughout the CNS, whereas the four subtypes of GluN2 (A-D) subunits have differential temporal and spatial expression patterns. The GluN2B subunit encoded by GRIN2B is highly expressed prenatally, and its expression level starts to decline after birth in most brain regions. The early expression of this NMDAR subunit suggests it may play an important role in brain development, circuit formation, and perhaps cellular migration and differentiation, as well as synaptic plasticity. GluN2B expression dominates during rapid cortical synaptogenesis in late embryogenesis and early postnatal development.
