Abstract excerpt
The activity of the neuron-specific K(+), Cl(-) co-transporter 2 (KCC2) is required for hyperpolarizing action of GABA and glycine. KCC2-mediated transport therefore plays a pivotal role in neuronal inhibition. Few analyses have addressed the amino acid requirements for transport-competent conformation. KCC2 consists of 12 transmembrane domains flanked by two intracellular termini. Structural analyses of a...
