GluN1 Subunits are Necessary to Form Functional NMDA Receptors

Question

GluN1 subunits are necessary to form functional NMDA receptors.

Accepted Answer

GluN1 subunits are an essential component of NMDA receptors, forming the binding site for ligands and providing stability for the receptor complex. Without GluN1 subunits, functional NMDA receptors cannot be formed.
