Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R) and mammalian type-1 IP(3)Rs have 57-60% sequence similarity and share major domain homology with each other. Mutants in the single Drosophila IP(3)R gene, itpr, and Itpr1 knockout mice both exhibit lethality and defects in motor coordination. Here the authors show that the rat type-1 IP(3)R, which is the major neuronal isoform, when expressed in the...
