Membrane proteins have been isolated from neuromuscular synapses of the crab Potamon transcaspicum using a specific blocker of glutamatergic synapses, the neurotoxin of the spider Argiope lobata. These membrane components have been shown to induce glutamate-sensitive conductance in bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) in the presence of sodium ions. As an agent blocking desensitization of glutamatergi...
