Answer #1

Glutamate binds with glutamate receptors which down-regulates GABA B receptors by shifting the balance from recycling to lysosomal degradation. Sustained activation of glutamate receptors triggers lysosomal degradation of GABA B receptors, mediated by AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) receptors. The down-regulation also depends on Ca2+ Influx through L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.
