Abstract excerpt
Arginine-481 is located in the putative agonist-binding region preceding the putative transmembrane segment M1 of the alpha1-subunit of the AMPA-selective glutamate receptor (GluR) channel. This amino acid is completely conserved among GluR proteins. A site-directed mutagenesis study using a baculovirus expression system showed that substitution of glutamate, glutamine and lysine for arginine-481 of the...
