ADAM22 and ADAM23 modulate the targeting of the Kv1 channel-associated protein LGI1 to the axon initial segment

Abstract excerpt

channels at the axon initial segment (AIS) influences neuronal intrinsic excitability. The Kv1.1 and Kv1.2 (also known as KCNA1 and KCNA2, respectively) subunits are associated with cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), including Caspr2 (also known as CNTNAP2) and LGI1, which are implicated in autoimmune and genetic neurological diseases with seizures. In particular, mutations in the LGI1 gene cause autosomal dominant...
