Abstract excerpt
Flip and flop splice variants of AMPA receptor subunits are expressed in distinct but partly overlapping patterns and impart different desensitization kinetics to cognate receptor channels. In the absence of specific antibodies, isoform-specific differences in trafficking or localization of native flip and flop subunits remain uncharacterized. We report that in several transfected cell lines, transport of...
