Synaptic expression of the high-affinity kainate receptor subunit KA2 in hippocampal cultures

A Herb et al.
Neuron, 8(4), 775-785 (1992-04-01)
A new ionotropic glutamate receptor subunit termed KA-2, cloned from rat brain cDNA, exhibits high affinity for [3H]kainate (KD approximately 15 nM). KA-2 mRNA is widely expressed in embryonic and adult brain. Homomeric KA-2 expression does not generate agonist-sensitive channels
Sanja Selak et al.
Neuron, 63(3), 357-371 (2009-08-15)
Regulation of surface insertion and internalization of AMPA and NMDA receptors has emerged as a key mechanism for the control of synaptic strength. Regulatory elements for synaptic kainate receptors (KARs) are, however, largely undetermined. We have found that SNAP25 is
S Mehta et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 276(19), 16092-16099 (2001-03-30)
Recent studies have demonstrated that kainate receptors are associated with members of the SAP90/PSD-95 family (synapse-associated proteins (SAPs)) in neurons and that SAP90 can cluster and modify the electrophysiological properties of GluR6/KA2 kainate receptors when co-expressed in transfected cells. In
Functional cooperation between KA2 and GluR6 subunits is involved in the ischemic brain injury.
