Abstract excerpt
The potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is required for neuronal development, and KCC2 dysregulation is implicated in several neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia, autism, and epilepsy. A dozen mutations in the KCC2-encoding gene, SLC12A5, are associated with these disorders, but few are fully characterized. To this end, we examined KCC2 biogenesis in a HEK293 cell model. While most of the...
