Receptor physiology: It's the NMDA receptor, but not as we know it : Nature Reviews Neuroscience

"Unlike most NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor (NMDAR) subunit combinations, which require glycine and glutamate for activation, NMDARs that contain both NR1 and NR3 subunits (NR1/NR3 receptors) are activated by glycine alone. This property and other unusual properties of this receptor subtype were discovered following experiments in recombinant expression systems but had been difficult to demonstrate in vivo"
