Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: NMDA receptors are important molecular targets of ethanol action in the CNS. Previous studies have identified a site in membrane-associated domain 3 (M3) of the NR1 subunit and two sites in M4 of the NR2A subunit that influence alcohol action; the sites in NR2A M4 also regulate ion channel gating. The purpose of this study was to determine whether mutations at the site in the NR2A subunit...
