5-Iodowillardiine is a selectiveagonist for somekainate receptor subunits with only limited effects atAMPA receptors.[1] It activates kainate receptors containing GluK1 (GluR5) or GluK5 (KA2) subunits, but it does not act on GluK2 (GluR6) subunits.[2][3][4][5] It is anexcitotoxicneurotoxinin vivo,[6][7] but has proved highly useful for characterising the subtypes and function of the various kainate receptors in thebrain andspinal cord.[8][9][10]
