Abstract excerpt
Two cDNAs encoding variants (alpha 1 and alpha 2) of the strychnine binding subunit of the inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) were isolated from a human fetal brain cDNA library. The predicted amino acid sequences exhibit approximately 99% and approximately 76% identity to the previously characterized rat 48 kd polypeptide. Heterologous expression of the human alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits in Xenopus oocytes...
