Identification of nuclear orphan receptors as regulators of expression of a neurotransmitter receptor gene.

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear orphan receptors are known to be important mediators of neurogenesis, but the target genes of these transcription factors in the vertebrate nervous system remain largely undefined. We have previously shown that a 500-base pair fragment in the first intron of the GRIK5 gene, which encodes the kainate-preferring glutamate receptor subunit KA2, down-regulates gene expression. In our present studies, mutation...
