Abstract excerpt
A genetic component is associated with the development of many forms of epilepsy. Recently, mutations in the GABAA receptor have been linked to several inherited epilepsies. One of these mutations is a non-conservative change of alanine to aspartate in the third transmembrane domain of the alpha1 subunit. To determine the functional consequences of this alteration, mutated alpha subunits were transiently...
