Abstract excerpt
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. We determined the nucleotide sequence of the 5'-upstream region of the human NMDA receptor 2B (NR2B) subunit gene and identified a novel T-200G variant located in one of the Sp1 binding sites. To investigate the effect of this variant on the transcriptional activity of the hNR2B gene, we performed gene reporter...
