Abstract excerpt
The orphan glutamate receptor delta2 is selectively expressed in Purkinje cells and plays a critical role in cerebellar function. Recently, the ataxia of hotfoot-4J (ho-4J) mice was shown to be caused by a 170-amino acid deletion in the N-terminal region of delta2 receptors. To understand delta2 receptor function, we characterized these mutant receptors (delta2ho) in Purkinje cells. Immunohistochemical staining...
