Abstract excerpt
Cation-selective cysteine (Cys)-loop transmitter-gated ion channels provide an important pathway for Ca2+ entry into neurones. We examined the influence on Ca2+ permeation of amino acids located at intra- and extracellular ends of the conduction pathway of the human 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3A (5-HT3A) receptor. Mutation of cytoplasmic arginine residues 432, 436, and 440 to glutamine, aspartate, and alanine (the...
