Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is caused by polyglutamine expansion in P/Q-type Ca2+ channels (Ca(v)2.1) and is characterized by predominant degeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells. To characterize the Ca(v)2.1 channel with an SCA6 mutation in cerebellar Purkinje cells, we have generated knock-in mouse models that express human Ca(v)2.1 with 28 polyglutamine repeats (disease range) and with 13...
