Abstract excerpt
Mutant Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) protein aggregation has been suggested as responsible for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), although the operative mediating factors are as yet unestablished. To evaluate the contribution of motoneuronal Ca2+-permeable (GluR2 subunit-lacking) alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors to SOD1-related motoneuronal death, we...
