Increased sensitivity to inflammatory pain induced by subcutaneous formalin injection in serine racemase knock-out mice.
D-Serine, an endogenous coagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), is widely distributed in the central nervous system and is synthesized from L-serine by serine racemase (SR). NMDAR plays an important role in pain processing including central sensitization that eventually causes hypera...
