In order to understand the unusual cerebellar localization,we have examined the binding of [11C]L-703,717 to a cerebellar specific NMDA receptor subtype consisting of GLuRepsilon3 subunit,by comparing its auto-radiographic distributions between GluRepsilon3-deficient and wild-type mice. Ex vivo [11C]L-703,717 binding to wild-type mice showed a highly specific localization of radioactivity in the cerebellum,whereas that to the GluRepsilon3-deficient mice showed no specific localization of radioactivity in any of the brain regions. In contrast to the ex vivo binding,in vitro[11C]L-703,717 binding displayed a similar binding characteristic between GluRepsilon3-deficient and wild-type mice with highly specific localizations in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. Therefore,the present study clearly demonstrated that [11C]L-703,717 preferentially binds to a cerebellar NMDA receptor subtype consisting of GluRepsilon3 subunit in vivo,but not in vitro.
