Abstract excerpt
Differences in binding-site residues of GluR2 (AMPAR) and GluR6 (KAR) subunits have been identified that might account for their functional and pharmacological differences. Specifically, residues A518, A689 and N721 in GluR6 replace highly conserved threonine and serine residues found in other ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) subunits. To define how these natural substitutions impact GluR6 function, we used...
