A mechanism for the alleviation of the malfunction of a mutated (gamma2(K289M)) epilepsy-linked gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter receptor by phenobarbital is presented. Compared to the wild-type receptor, the GABA-induced current is considerably reduced in the mutated (alpha1beta2gamma2(K289M)) epilepsy-linked GABA(A) receptor [Baulac, S., Huberfeld, G., Gurfinkel-An, I., Mitropoulou, G., Beranger,...
