A receptor is located on a cell membrane. Any neuronic transmission, hormone, etc. that cannot get inside of the cell's membrane will sit on the receptor in order to pass its message along to the cell. When the molecule sits on the receptor, it causes a series of reactions to occur inside of the cell. From the series of reactions that occur inside of the cell, the message is passed along, and the cell will perform as indicated by the molecule on the cell receptor.

What is the role of the receptor?
The main role of the NMDA receptor in the body is in ensuring neural plasticity. Further research is on-going to further refine understanding of this receptor, and this conclusion may change in future as more studies may find further roles for this receptor.
