Abstract excerpt
Episodic ataxia type 1 is a rare, autosomal dominant neurological disorder caused by missense mutations of the Kv1.1 gene from the Shaker K+ channel subfamily. To study the functional effects of the disease-causing mutations in a robust K+ channel background, we introduced seven different episodic ataxia type 1 substitutions into the corresponding, conserved residues of the Shaker K+ channel. K+ channel currents...
