Abstract excerpt
Mutations that impair the expression and/or function of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors can lead to epilepsy. The familial epilepsy gamma2(K289M) mutation affects a basic residue conserved in the TM2-3 linker of most GABAA subunits. We investigated the effect on expression and function of the Lys --> Met mutation in mouse alpha1(K278M), beta2(K274M), and gamma2(K289M) subunits. Compared with...
