Deletion of the C-terminal domain of the NR2B subunit alters channel properties and synaptic targeting of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in nascent neocortical synapses.

Abstract excerpt

Channel properties and synaptic targeting of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors determine their importance in synaptic transmission, long-term synaptic plasticity, and developmental reorganization of synaptic circuits. To investigate the involvement of the C-terminal domain of the NR2B subunit in regulating channel properties and synaptic localization, we analyzed gene-targeted mice expressing C-terminally...
