Abstract excerpt
Insulin modulates N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the CNS and potentiates currents of recombinant NMDA receptors in a subunit-specific manner in Xenopus oocytes. Previously we identified two sites in the NR2B C-terminus as targets for direct phosphorylation by C-type protein kinases (PKCs). Mutating these sites reduced insulin potentiation of currents by one half, reflecting the PKC-mediated portion of...
