A zebrafish gephyrinb mutant distinguishes synaptic and enzymatic functions of Gephyrin.

Abstract excerpt

Gephyrin is thought to play a critical role in clustering glycine receptors at synapses within the central nervous system (CNS). The main in vivo evidence for this comes from Gephyrin (Gphn)-null mice, where glycine receptors are depleted from synaptic regions. However, these mice die at birth, possibly due to impaired molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) synthesis, an essential role Gephyrin assumes throughout an animal....
