N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are hetero-tetrameric ion channels typically consisting of two GluN1 and two GluN2 subunits. A GluN2D subunit containing NMDA receptor dysfunction has been implicated in several neurological diseases, including schizophrenia; however, the lack of a purified GluN2D containing NMDA receptor has been a hurdle for structural and biophysical studies. Here, we present expression and purification strategies to generate human GluN2D containing NMDA receptor, confirm its hetero-tetrameric form using fluorescence size exclusion chromatography (FSEC) and evaluated its suitability for structural studies. The purification methodology outlined here will help in the development of GluN2D ... More
