Developmental Seizure Susceptibility of Kv1.1 Potassium Channel Knockout Mice
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Potassium channels play a critical role in limiting neuronal excitability. Mutations in certain voltage-gated potassium channels have been associated with hyperexcitable phenotypes in both humans and animals. However, only recently have mutations in potassium channel genes (i.e. KCNQ2 and KCNQ3) been discovered in a human epilepsy, benign familial neonatal convulsions. Recently, it has been reported that mice...
