Abstract excerpt
The physiological function of the GluRdelta subfamily which is one of the glutamate receptor (GluR) channel subunits has not yet been clarified, because no GluR channel activity has been detected in heterologous expression systems. The Lurcher mutation, a point mutation of the GluRdelta2 subunit, converts it into a constitutively active and cation-permeating channel. We introduced this mutation into GluRdelta1...
