Abstract excerpt
Previous studies of the lurcher mutation in GluR1 channels concluded that its main effect is to create constitutively active channels (Kohda et al., 2000; Taverna et al., 2000). GluR1Lc channels also exhibit slowed kinetics and a shift in their apparent affinity for glutamate (Kohda et al., 2000; Taverna et al., 2000). Here, we have undertaken a kinetic analysis of GluR1Lc channels to quantify the effects of...
