Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: It has been proposed that arginine residues lining the intracellular portals of the homomeric 5-HT3 A receptor cause electrostatic repulsion of cation flow, accounting for a single-channel conductance substantially lower than that of the 5-HT3 AB heteromer. However, comparison of receptor homology models for wild-type pentamers suggests that salt bridges in the intracellular domain of the...
