FABRIZIO-GANDOLFO DOCCULA is an academic who published a paper in 2019 entitled TWO CLADE III GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE ISOFORMS INVERSELY REGULATE LOCAL AND LONG-DISTANCE CA2+ SIGNA. FABRIZIO-GANDOLFO DOCCULA published this work as part of a team: DOCCULA, FABRIZIO GANDOLFO. Here is a description of this work: In the central nervous system, ionotropic Glutamate Receptors (iGluRs) are tetrameric ligand-gated non-selective cation channels. They have been linked to learning and memory as well as to neurodegenerative pathologies such as Alzheimer disease. Thus, they are among the best characterized channels in animals. Animals and plants share this class of proteins. Plant Glutamate Receptors-like (GLRs) have been implicated in stomata movement regulation, pollen tube growth, long-distance signalling, root development and defence against pathogens. However, to date few details are known about their basic properties and functions, such as binding activity, ion transportation, sub-cellular localization, subunits interaction, desensitization etc. My PhD project focused on two GLR isoforms in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtGLR3.3 an.
