Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) induces cytotoxicity in neuronal and glial cells via activation of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX). This study examined the role of the predominant brain-specific NCX splice variant NCX1.5 in NO-induced cytotoxicity in the HEK293 cell expression system. Cells were transfected with the plasmid construct pcDNA3.1/V5-His containing full-length rat NCX1.5 cDNA. There was no difference in the...
