Abstract excerpt
In the human alpha7 nicotinic receptor, valine-274 in the pore-lining transmembrane-2 region was mutated to threonine to produce the variant human alpha7V274T, which was evaluated electrophysiologically following expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Inward current rectification was strong in human alpha7V274T as in the human alpha7 wild type nicotinic receptor. However, human alpha7V274T was 100-fold more...
