Abstract excerpt
NMDA receptors in mice were mutated by gene targeting to substitute asparagine (N) in position 598 of the NR1 subunit to glutamine (Q) or arginine (R). Animals expressing exclusively the mutated NR1 alleles, NR1(Q/Q) and NR1(-/R) mice, developed a perinatally lethal phenotype mainly characterized by respiratory failure. The dysfunctions were partially rescued in heterozygous mice by the presence of pure wild-type...
